We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.
5 to 7 honestly. There needs to be more pressure on companies to actually execute on their ideas instead of sitting on them for years
Copyright protects already executed ideas, stripping that protection down to less than a decade would be completely unhelpful.
Not quite. You can't turn movies into books or games, or vice versa, for example. Sometimes such projects get stuck in limbo. Or think about how everyone hated the final season of Game of Thrones. Can't do anything about that in our life times.
