yeah like
while lacking the legal background to draft specific recommendations, im strongly of the opinion that copyright is probably necessary to prevent enormous companies with infinite resources from preying on individual creators, but that's the direction the dynamic should work, not the other way around
and we should all be allowed to participate in our shared media culture
so strict limits, with fixed and predictable durations, that expire within our lifetimes are absolutely necessary
i would further argue for gradual, staged allowances that allow things like non-commercial derivative works (or similar? idk i just think people should be able to legally publish their horny fanfics and so on)
