>That analysis is based on the assumption that the copyright term from the first US copyright act from 1790 somehow got it right for all time If anything it should be shorter. So if you're open to re-negotiating this duration, I move that we reduce it to 3 years, all-inclusive. Furthermore, I move that DRM-ed works be made ineligible for all copyright protection. You either get DRM or copyright, but not both. Finally, I move that corporations can be sued to have their copyright privileges revoked for a period of no less than 50 years if they are caught destroying or interfering with works that should eventually enter the public domain. No more dumping film reels in the river because the warehouse costs are inconvenient. But, if you don't want to put this on the table to be negotiated, then perhaps we can live with 14 years. Up to you.
