    We need two things:

    1. much shorter copyright and patent durations, like 14 and 5 years respectively (14 comes from OG copyright duration)
    2. stronger enforcement of copyright to protect creators from AI stealing their work

    They should happen in that order, and ideally copyright would only be awarded to individuals (or perhaps specifically named lists of individuals, with some reasonable cap), not corporations. The current system is absolutely bonkers.

      Making it so corporations cannot directly own some random valuable thing?

      It’s a nice thing to think about, but it has 0% chance of happening in our current system.
