That's not even a joke. One of the premises of a copyright is that you defend your intellectual property or lose it. If the system were more equitable then it would defend your copyright.

This is an inaccurate description of copyright, at least in the United States.

Trademarks require active defense to avoid genericization. Copyright may be asserted at the holder's discretion.

Your point about losing copyright is incorrect. But copyright absolutely was designed with corporations in mind not small individual creators. It was designed around TV,Movies, and print publishers, not around YouTube and Patreon.
