I would love to see a public poll on how long people think that copyright should be. I'm betting that the majority of the answers from normal people will be less than the current "author's lifetime plus 70 years" but also greater than 5 years. This is probably not a very profitable poll for Gallup to do, though...
- skirge 11mo ago"What I need should be copyrighted zero years and what I sell should be copyrighter indefinitely", this is an answer you will get.
- nemomarx 11mo agoWasn't it 14+14 at some point? I wonder if that would be above or below the average response
- nancyminusone 11mo agoMy answer is "a generation". There's so many ideas and behaviors that don't persist between generations that it seems as natural of a division as you could have. The median age of new mothers is 27 around here, which seems about right.
- ronsor 11mo agoA generation is usually considered to be ~20 years, which is less than 14+14, not that I'm complaining.
