    15 years then free domain.

    That’s what I always say. Weirdly, a lot of people who don’t have anything copyrighted themselves argue for longer copyright.

      I would argue this with “but what about franchises getting slopped up with content that doesn’t fit the original narrative/characterizations?” But then I look at what Disney has done with Star wars and marvel and realize I don’t really have leg to stand on.
