It's time to let (most of) copyright go. Ideas are copied around the world at light speed and so much content is being produced that no individual has a chance to consume all the media the world produces in a single minute.
The value is in the copying not the material. In having a mechanism to spread your material to as many eyes as possible. Hanging onto Micky Mouse's anachronistic paradigm does not encourage more art, it only performs an oligopolistic role for artists already at the top, already with the copy mechanism and attention to spread their ideas.
