Yes, I agree with you. A suggestion I've might have read on Techdirt is to limit copyright to 5 years with a one time option to extend it for 5 years. Most works lose profitability within 5 years so the only ones impacted would be the most successful and the companies. I'm totally ok with that.
Just imagine what public libraries and streaming sites like Netflix could/would look like if anything from ten years back would be free to share.
