The one I thought was a good compromise was 14 years, with the option to file again for a single renewal for a second 14 years. That was the basic system in the US for quite a while, and it has the benefit of being a good fit for the human life span–it means that the stuff that was popular with our parents when we were kids, i.e. the cultural milieu in which we were raised, would be public domain by the time we were adults, and we’d be free to remix it and revisit it. It also covers the vast majority of the sales lifetime of a work, and makes preservation and archiving more generally feasible.
5 years may be an overcorrection, but I think very limited terms like that are closer to the right solution than our current system is.
They can’t really keep them in stock, though. I was checking on them shortly before the sale started and the refurbished 64GB LCD models were all out. Now all the refurbished models are sold out.
It’s just as well, though. Between the Switch 2 and the Deckard, I’ve got some other stuff I might want to waste money on this year.
