Wait why is an IP or copyright bad? If I, a nobody make a great character or film, you're saying that should belong to everyone and I should get nothing out of it? Bullshit, why even bother then?
I don't think IP shouldn't exist. I saw someone say studies show 7 years is the correct time limit before they go to public domain though.
if you can't make bank in 7 years then it's a you problem and it's time to give others a try.
Unfortunately right now the media megacorps would have no problem suppressing an IP for 7 years just to use it for their own later. They run the distribution channels.
