what about all the things that should have been out-of-copyright had large companies not purchased favourable laws? How many years after death are we up to now? Is this what people originally agreed to when copyright laws were created? Did they agree to the extensions or did the government do this for the "lobbying"?
What about public domain which was taken by for-profit companies and then copyrighted so you cant do the same?
Ideally with a formalized way of declaring an earlier expiration, or directly to public domain.
