    Copyrights should expire five years from the date of initial publication at most.

    The copyright should be nontransferable and exclusively held by the original creator/creators.

    The creator(s) should be the people who substantively contributed to the work. Monetary contributions are not substantive.

    The rights holder should be an actual human person(s) not a corporate entity.

    The copyrighted work should enter public domain immediately upon the death of the last living rights holder or upon the expiration of the copyright. Whichever happens first.

    Any decision to license the work should require the unanimous consent of all living rights holders.

    If a rights holder is rendered incapable of making licensing decisions under suspicious circumstances all licenses to the work are immediately voided and no new licenses can be issued.
