And how do you think that’s going to go when suddenly the creator needs to compete with massive corps?

The reason copyright exists is for the same reason patents do: to protect the little guy.

Just because corporations abuse it doesn’t mean we throw it out.

It shouldn’t be long, but it sure should be longer than 5 years.

Or maybe 5 years unless it’s an individual.

I agree that copyright is far too long, but at 5 years there’s hardly incentive to produce. You could write a novel and have it only starting to get popular after 5 years.
