Or perhaps to admit that the concept is trying to build a skyscraper out of raw sand and that the very concept needs to be revisited.
My own /personal/ views on the IP related matters can be summarized:
Trade Mark(s): Good, keep forever as long as the presence in commercial offerings is refreshed on an ongoing basis; limit to /commercial/ for profit enforcement.
Copyright: Public domain needs to happen, a LOT faster. Renewal should need to be active and exponentially more expensive. Automatic copyright probably needs to expire after around 10 to 20 years. (I favor rounding down to the year and using 11 years for first registration, and a multiple of 5 years for rounds there after.)
Patents: Please prove me wrong that they aren't effective and are a myth. Processes of how to do things often come down to engineering and math; if given the same goal a solution is likely to be similar at it's core as for any given problem there is probably an ideal bound and variations of effort will produce similar results or results optimized slightly to different circumstances.
