I would be fine with a provision to extend copyright by paying fees, but only if the fee went up each time, like say 2^x * 100 dollars each x year over the base

- danielweber 14y agoYou have to decide that kind of unit you need to pay fees on. Is "Steamboat Willie" 1 work? If a photographer releases a bunch of photos, are each of them their own work? Should he release them as a book?
- TruthElixirX 14y agoThey're already paying fees for this in the form of lobbying. The money from your fees would go to the same people the lobby money is going to now. How does that fix anything?

No, lobby money goes to lobbyists, election campaigns, and to support services of the lobby industrial complex. Money from "this should otherwise be public domain" fees could go to the general treasury and help pay for, well, anything.
