>societal desire that generating IP continue to be a viable economic work product It is strange that you think the law is settled when I don't think even this

  Maybe I should clarify: Society, in general, supports the idea that writers, artists, film makers, coders, etc— everyone who creates IP- should have a place in the economy. Basically just that it should be possible to make a living and have a career at it. It can be spun different ways, and those differences are important, but this is the basic thing. This doesn’t seem like a disputable statement to me. For anyone who thinks actors’ likenesses, authors’ words, all of it- that all and everything should be up for grabs once written or put anywhere in public, that is not a widely held opinion. Once that’s established, it all comes down to implementation details.

        > Why are mineral rights sold separately to most land deeds? Because the population does not rebel against the politicians that made these laws.

      That’s a matter of contract and licensing, not the limits of copyright law.
