We need to revisit copyright laws. Life of the author plus 70 years just encourages people to make money off work they had nothing to do with. 15 years then free domain.
That's what I always say. Weirdly, a lot of people who don't have anything copyrighted themselves argue for longer copyright.
I would argue this with "but what about franchises getting slopped up with content that doesn't fit the original narrative/characterizations?" But then I look at what Disney has done with Star wars and marvel and realize I don't really have leg to stand on.
Disney is largely responsible for the life plus 70 years rule. And they're still trying to maintain control over steamboat willie!
15 years max! I was thinking 5 lol
