    We need some form of copyright otherwise if you make some content nothing would stop people from selling it and keeping the money for themselves. But it doesn’t need to last nearly as long as it does currently.

        Yeah, I believe there is a sweet spot where small creators can profit off of a work for a long time but not so long that companies seek to hoard it. Plus, the larger the public domain is the more we can remix things into new adaptations. In some ways, large brands got popular through the public domain and then took up the ladder so no others could.
