IMO, this is a genuinely conservative idea worth advancing. I think anyone supporting the Constitution would generally be in favor of this.
Thank you for posting. When I heard a pothead rocker claiming that he needed to keep the copyright on his music so that he would have enough money to send his GRANDCHILDREN through college that was all I needed to say enough is enough!
This is a genuine free market (as opposed to pro-business) idea. Sounds like it might be worth advancing.

Arts and science are advanced by making it profitable to the originator of the intellectual property. I imagine there might be a public good to be found in confiscation of any property, but it sure doesn’t encourage investing in that property subject to confiscation.
Copyright laws have been in place damn near forever.
They work.
Leave them alone you progressive bastiges.
At least the KJV Bible is not under copyright like most all the rest, wrongly in my opinion, as is criminalizes free sharing of it, with attribution to the source, of anything done by a Christian ministry for gospel work. However, those who seek to make money off such without permission of the source, if living and possible, should be prosecuted.
Certainly it cost money to do things like make videos, but if God called us into ministry of faith then we must trust Him who “gave at the cross” to provide His workers with what is needed to do the work He called them to.
Which He will in His mercy and grace, and insomuch as we practice Mt. 6:33, in patience and faith (which i need to do better).
Outside that, i think anything put out in public, as on the web, should be expected and allowed to be personally saved, and not just one archival copy as regards digital data as is presently allowed. But never sold without permission.
And i believe the 70 year extension of copyright after the authors death is too long.
