   What would be a fair #copyright period, balancing the rights of creators and the public?

   I'd suggest 25 years or to the end of the creator's life, whichever is longer.

     @david_megginson I want a world where artists and authors don't starve, and that's the exact opposite of the world of copyright (where corporations can lay claim to the works of others while censoring new works).

     We need UBI or better direct financing methods (though Patreon helps), not a tool of abusive publishers, record labels, and studios.

     @david_megginson 0 years. Copyright is regularly used by cops to censor police violence incidents, by abusive exes to continue abuse, and exists primarily to prevent non corporations from creating new works.

     It doesn't finance new works, just look at the clusterfuck that is modern movie making and all the free labor script writers are forced to do because only the Studios (IP owners) are allowed to create culture.
