Copyright is too restrictive (Score 1)

I'm one of those who believes that copyright lasts too long. The Constitution allows patents and copyrights for limited times. Patents are 20 years, With copyright, you will die before the copyright expires. It started out as 28 years (14 years + 1 14-year renewal.) Retroactive copyright extensions also prevent works from entering public domain as they otherwise would have (https://law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/). Copyright was intended to give the creators the rights to their work for limited times, and then to enter the public domain. It was never intended to provide a continuing income stream for the heirs and estates.
