askBeehaw: should copyright even exist at all? and if it should, how long *should* the ideal term of copyright be? - Beehaw

a perennial favorite topic of debate. sound off in the replies.

I've mentioned this before here, but my stance is 20 years flat for a work owned by a corporation, and life for works owned by an individual.
why lifetime copyright ownership for individuals?
Mostly, I felt it was important to discourage IP ownership by corps by making the individual term much longer. I'm open to making it shorter, but still considerably longer than that of corporations. An individual isn't going to be able to harm infringers the way that, say, Nintendo can, and does.
