I think the end of the torrent of ai slop is the better thing at the moment. I don't hate the underlying concept behind copyright, protect the people who create a thing for a limited amount of time. The problem is when those limits are lobbied to be extended over and over and the laws are used as a bludgeon by corporations against individuals.

If I were to fix copyright to something equitable:

1. Copyrights must be held by a singular person, no corporations, no estates, no organizations, none of that. If an elderly creator dies while in control of a copyright then it goes to next of kin until it expires. If corporations want protection for logos and corporate designs, that's what a trademark is for.

2. copyrights last for 30 years, that's plenty of time to profit off of a work, but not so long that multiple generations lose out on the creative potential of that work being in the societal consciousness.

3. Copyright damages cannot be calculated by some theoretical loss of profits to the copyrifht holder. The damages are some significant portion of revenue made by the offending party.
