Obtaining a patent remains an expensive item to pursue, thanks to Ronald Reagan. For an ordinary working person to have to fork over $10k + for a patent can be a tremendous drain on ones resources.
Is everyone becoming a copyist? A copyright owner has supposedly created an original work; it's his baby and he ought be able to treat and care for it just like it was his child and claim ownership forever and beyond. A person looking to make a quick dollar and just hustle off another's labor is the lowest slime and should not be permitted to participate in civilized society.
The person who lack creative ability should not be in the pursuit of someone else property unless a royalty check is cut that respect the time and effort of the genius of the copyright owner.
Why prey on the accomplishments of another? If one cannot create his own works; evidently he's pursuing the wrong field of endeavor. Perhaps the field of service, sales, supply or some other area is his natural calling and where they may find their success.
My copyrighted materials are MINE! I worked and created them for the pleasure of myself, my children, grandchildren and even beyond. It is what it is.

How can copyright terms be to long?
