My ideal copyright would be 15 years or death of the creator or the end of sale/support, whichever is earlier. That would mean that Portal 2 has copyright and Portal doesn’t, which sounds about right.
How about an exponentially increasing fee to retain copyright?
Like, maybe tiered to something like 5 years: pay what it costs now, 10 years: 10 times that cost, and 15 years: 100 times, with a hard cap at 15? I could get behind that.
It doesn't cost anything to copyright something. You just automatically own the copyright to something you create.
(This may vary outside the US; I'm not familiar with international copyright law.)
I thought there was a registration fee for copyright, but I think I mixed it up with trademark...
