As an IP attorney I support what I call "The Founder's Copyright"

  • 15 year term, plus and additional 15 is you re-register.
  • mandatory registration. None of this auto-registration
  • mandatory copyright notice (Copyright (c) 2023)
  • no moral rights
  • no retroactive copyright extensions (should have been unConstitutional, bad SCOTUS specifically Ginsburg who wrote that opinion)
  • recognition in the law that computers and the internet work by copying. This blanket prohibition on copying causes judges to make workable exceptions and intentional ignore the ludacris parts of the law.
  • as a bonus, I think you should be required to give 2 full copies of whatever you register for archiving.

If they roll back copyright law to the state it was in in 1830, I'd support it again.
