I like the idea of having to pay a fee to retain copyright. And that fee doubles every year.

It starts off low but after a decade or two it becomes more economical to let the copyright lapse.

Patents should be scrapped completely.

    Oh, I like that because it puts a ever increasing burden to use it or lose it. Once it is no longer profitable it goes back to public domain.

    I find patents of dubious value to say the least. It is definitely the worst part of IP.
