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 …

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.

I don't actually care about the flavor text in the Constitution, this kind of argument is extremely weak whenever anyone uses it I also don't care that the Bill of Rights says we should have citizen militias or that the Founders all would've thought income tax was tyranny
