Is there any work that is over 50 years old that still brings in big money? The proper solution is to charge an annual fee per work for continued protection of, say $1000/year after 50 years. I'll bet they won't want to pay that.
It is amazing how you have totally bought into the corporations most ardent desire: continual "ownership" of other people's work as if it was some inalienable right.
Copyright was invented as a limited term privilege to encourage artistic creation as a social good.
The proper solution is to revert to the original 28 year maximum duration and place all artistic works in the public domain after that time.
