I think it's simple, just make copyright non-transferable. Someone can sign a contract to distribute your works but can never own the rights to them. You can't pass them to anyone when you die, they go to the public domain.
The problem with that is the rash of deaths of people with copyright over desirable content.
And this isn’t just speculative.
Okay transferrable but 5 years tops.
That's wildly enough IMO.
That, and it only solves one of the problems copyright causes. The problems in regards to using content to create more content is still there. The problems with massive companies raking in millions while giving the creator pennis is still there. The problems with access to content. All the spinoff issues with DRM are still there. To give a couple of examples.
Exactly. This is why you can't tie property ownership to life and death, because then you're simply creating a business incentive to seeing that people with valuable property die.
So to solve that, instead of tying the property to a specific person's lifetime, you tie it to a generic estimation of human lifetime (say 80-110 years, optimistically), and that brings us right back to where we are.
Fair point
