Work for hire copyright duration of 95 years (from publishing) or 120 years from creation is outrageous. I just donated money to the Internet Archive.

- doctorpangloss 2y agoShould the government ever enforce copyright violations? That’s kind of the status quo for the vast vast majority of infractions. Even though enforcement could be trivial.
- jacobr1 2y agoNo, not in a direct sense anyway. It should be a tort. The government should assist with enforcement of court ordered actions like seizure of property or liens for non-payment however.
- doctorpangloss 2y ago> No, not in a direct sense anyway. It should be a tort. For any particularly good reason, other than, "piracy is a cultural norm?" Kind of tautological.
- wormius 2y agoThe irony that copyright is meant to induce "creativity" now spurs on less and less by tightly controlling the flow of information/inspiration. It locks people into less and less creative avenues, doing the exact opposite. Limited to lifetime of author. Publishers and contracted "rights holders" should not be allowed to continue to pursue/extort profits after the death of the author. I am being simplistic here and recognize there's room for nuance, but it's so damn obvious we have a situation far unlike what "the founders" intended (even though I'm not a fan of a lot of said founders for many reasons - this is one I can understand and relate to).
