If copyright was only a decade then Sony could have waited 5 more years and made the movie of Project Hail Mary without paying one dime to Andy Weir.
I think the law is too long now, but a decade is too short to protect artists. Even a patent is 20 years.
- spongebobstoes 7mo agoprobably someone else would have made the movie instead. there is time value to money. money now is better than money in 5 years
- chii 7mo ago> made the movie of Project Hail Mary without paying one dime to Andy Weir. and is there anything really wrong with that? I personally would have liked to see fan made movies of various IPs like star wars, and harry potter, but it is impossible due to the long reach of copyright infringement.
- globular-toast 7mo agoMaybe that would encourage writers to actually make best use of the book medium as opposed to Andy Weir which is basically a film script with a cover on it.
