      Most of what's actually important about IP allowing rent-seeking on ideas has to do with patent, not copyright Complaining about copyright usually boils down to not wanting to pay people for work at all, and largely affects creative fields that don't save any lives anywayhttps://twitter.com/benjanun_s/status/1367526439042486279 …

      Abolishing *patent* laws however would be good because have you seen what vaccine access is like this moment.

      I mean, i complain about copyright because no, it absolutely should not last longer than the life of the author.

      That seems not right to me. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, it wouldn't make it OK for some unscrupulous corporation to swoop in and make a movie out of one of my stories (not that they would, but you know).

      There was someone talking about how copyright ending exactly at death would create a huge financial incentive to assassinate individuals who own billion dollar IPs and while they were mostly kidding it is a fair point

      I mean, i honestly don't think 30 years is unreasonable, frankly, but i don't want everyone to shit on me the way they're shitting on MattY. The US Constitution, in particular, is EXTREMELY CLEAR about the purpose of copyright.

      Is copyright a good? Mildly so, but that's not the real issue. I discussed the real issue with copyright on another thread some time ago: https://twitter.com/NMamatas/status/1244411493698826240 … 14/?

      I am definitely not in favor of reducing copyright terms to 30 years, though life+70 is generally too long. Life+30 intuitively feels useful and correct. At any rate, nobody should be talking about reducing copyright terms until land can go public much more easily than it does.

      Whatever your personal feelings on the matter, a copyright term less than the lifetime of the author is an obvious political non-starter All that it takes to build support for strengthening copyright is one story of a celebrated author living in dire poverty

          Sure! So i'm willing to compromise on "life of the author".

          (I mean, lots of authors -- even important and famous ones! -- ALREADY live in dire poverty, and having the rights to their work doesn't help a damn bit. One, a dearly beloved and brilliant author in his 80s, is a friend of mine.)
