    Maybe we just need to move content to the public domain more quickly. Something gets made, they have 5 years to recoup their costs and make their profit, then release it to the public domain so it can be enjoyed and preserved for future generations.

      thats a sensible solution actually. doubtful that the studios would ever go along with it, given how reluctant the studios are to pay writers a fair share.
