"You're gunna break it!"

Forgive me if this is a dumb thing to ask but could a lot of this tension with copyright be solved if corporations couldn't hold them beyond the life of the original creator, even if the creator signed it away? I mean I see it as not unreasonable that they could licence from a living creator but I think it's a good idea to stop at the literal death of the author.

"You're gunna break it!"

I feel like an immediate and obvious problem with coping with this is our own speculative fiction has been restricted by copyright and no one has really wanted to work through it due to the elephant in the room nature of it.

Thread has been thought provoking thank you.

I think it's become obvious to me that a large part of the problem is art is being treated as a commodity the artist is required to sell to survive, or that massive success demands massive compensations and it's really getting at the root of capitalist incentives to digest this stuff.


Don't a lot of reasons for trademark go away if a created product can't really result in superwealth?
The assumption being made that no one starves in post UP society.
