I admit I was only thinking about the output of our largest firms. There's room for that, and I could easily be persuaded that the strength and duration of IP law should be inversely proportional to the size of the IP holder itself. And especially whether it is held by the sole creator, or collectively by private interests. People should own what they personally made, as much as possible under the circumstances.

Eh, once you share something publicly, you no longer have complete control over it. You'll always own it, but you won't always have the authority to tell others how your work may be used.

And yeah, the renewal thing is an attempt to prioritize smaller creators (who may actually need the extra protections) over larger creators (who don't need the extra protections).
