      You're not thinking about copyrights, which protect expressions, you're talking about patents, which are for ideas. And that's kind of how certain proposed solutions to patent thickets work, albeit with mandatory cross-licensing instead of replacing the patents.

      I was talking about art; i.e. if someone has a great idea for a book/movie/whatever but the result is terrible, someone should be able to rewrite it so it's good

      This would incentivize people to make good versions of things to begin with, since they will lose copyright to someone else if it's easy to do better. Not that I'm serious, of course, since there's no objective way to determine quality.

      Imagine if someone composed a masterpiece, but the official audio track was recorded by a mediocre orchestra and someone was constantly coughing in the background. And you'll never hear a good version because the composer won't let anyone record it. Most works are like this.

      Fair point, but the same remedy applies; replace protection granted to musical scores (as distinct from performances) with mandatory licensing. (This is a compromise between "everything enters public domain nearly-immediately" and "no derivatives/ extensions for a century.")

      What about for books and movies, though, where there's no clear deliniation between the "score" and the "performance"? The equivalent situation is the norm there too.

      I'm unsure, but given what I've seen, there's no legal remedy for "plagiarizing" a plot. People can steal plot points, most of the setting, etc. As long as they change character names and write it themselves. But I'd be fine with mandatory licensing for "adaptions," like HP:MoR.

      Making better versions of movies yourself is prohibitively expensive, so I wish there was some mechanism in place that incentivized Hollywood etc. to only output the best possible versions of their ideas, and to not publish what they know is crap

      I also think changing all the names etc. is not enough; some things that are now cultural touchstones still deserve to be made better. I like the idea of a story that gets changed/optimized through generations. Imagine if we kept rewriting Twilight every year until it became good

      That way there won't be such a bad SNR. Instead of saying "you should read X, it's like a good version of Twilight", we could say "you should read Twilight, it used to be bad but it's good now"

          You do not want a court adjudicating art quality. What’s wrong with the current “like Twilight but good” status quo?

          I'm not seriously proposing this, just lamenting that there's no way to prevent the endless flood of bad content that we aren't allowed to rehabilitate
