Frankly, the discussion around shrinking the copyright term is just like the discussion against raising the minimum wage. The poors are still gonna be poor, but what about the rich people who might need to spend a few more bucks for get their megacorps running?

It seems incredibly obvious that streaming a video game is a "public performance" of the content of that game -- it's somewhere between screening a movie/playing an album and producing/filming a script (It can't possibly be a MORE transformative work than filming a screenplay)

IF we were trying to hew to the way copyright worked before streamers started doing their thing, then every single one of them is blatantly infringing, all of them owe pretty much 100% of their profits to the IP owners of the games they stream, and the industry shouldn't exist
