    Should be X years after publication, lifespan should not matter.

    A person at age 200 (I mean in the future when they find anti-aging tech) should not be able to gatekeep the stuff they wrote when they were 25.

    A person publishing a book at age 30 then dies next day in a car accident should not lose the right to pass on profits made from the book to his/her children.

    Copyright should be fixed-length, fuck lifelong copyright, fuck “corporate personhood”.

      Also this length should be at most 25 years and 10-15 years is better. These 75+ year copyrights are total BS.

        10-15 sounds pretty short tbh. It can take years to write a book, and then 10 years later a company can just make a movie out of it and doesn’t have to pay you shit for it?

      They shouldn’t need to inherit anything wealth from their parents. We are playing wackamole instead of just building a better system than the current obviously flawed models that we all… Inherited. Ironic
