Let’s rewrite copyright law: 1. The author gets to say, “I produced this”, and to control if it gets published. 2. Exclusive copyright for 15 year terms. 3. Renewal possible if author still alive. Non-human rights holders (corporations, etc.) limited to 30 years total (one renewal) from date of first publication, regardless of item ownership. Failure to renew automatically opens up the product. 4. Existing copyright can be overridden if demand isn’t being adequately serviced (sliding scale, challenger must capture minimum % of existing market demand to prove). Pricing of overriding attempts must be reasonable, only cost of production can be directly paid for, everything else goes into an escrow account until the attempt is concluded. This is where anti-abuse rules for both sides are most extensive. Information and knowledge must be free. Our civilization depends vitally upon that freedom.
