Will they though? Doesn't them being re-released as classics and virtual consoles reset the clock?

Just because an IP is locked up, it doesn’t prevent others from inventing their own IP. I never understood why people lock on to something and refuse to move on to something new. It sucks Robotech IP is locked up in a dungeon, but someone can still create a new transform mech IP
Probably for the same reason that people make mediocre unlicensed Pokémon RPGs and Metroid games that "somehow" end up being wildly popular: Being original is haaaaaard.

... it is. That’s why whoever created the original IP should have their rights protected and intact for decades.

I'd argue for statutory copyright on the order of 20-25 years, more towards the upper end of that, with the option to renew exactly once. In the extremely unlikely event that I make it big in software, I'd like my nonexistent kids to be secure. Their kids can get their own jobs.

Not saying that you're one of those people, Andre, just that it always has rubbed me the wrong way when people do that, and limiting IP to such a short period would effectively ensure that instances of such behavior would be made manifold.

Yeah maybe, OTOH there's a valid theory that Germany only caught up to the UK in the 19th century because it ignored that new-fangled copyright stuff and sold bootlegged science and technology books for cheap to the masses. I think that's more important than entertainment.
