Copyright is not a perfect system, by a long shot. Copyright lasts way too long. 70 years after the death of the author. That is just too much. It means you cannot use any copyrighted works that you enjoyed as a child. It also gets abused far too much by large companies taking down IMO legitimate derivative works from smaller creators to suppress and control their content with iron fists. And that is a limitation of expression.
