borkcorkedforks@kbin.socialtoChat@beehaw.org•askBeehaw: should copyright even exist at all? and if it should, how long *should* the ideal term of copyright be?

1 year ago25 to 45 years seems like plenty for most of the profit of a work. Maybe 5 years with an option to renew it by the author using the copyright with maximum of 50 years or so. That way abandoned IP or works no longer being published can be used sooner but people who have a series or keeps selling a work can keep control of the IP.
The life of the author plus 70 years bs we have now is insane. It use to be 14 years originally then was 28 years for a good while.
I know my dog loves meeting people and getting attention. She basically acts like she doesn’t get any pets at home.
If she stops on a walk it’s usually because she wants to sunbath or smell the same spot for 10 mins.
