    I like the idea of having to pay a fee to retain copyright. And that fee doubles every year.

    It starts off low but after a decade or two it becomes more economical to let the copyright lapse.

    Patents should be scrapped completely.

      Oh, I like that because it puts a ever increasing burden to use it or lose it. Once it is no longer profitable it goes back to public domain.

      I find patents of dubious value to say the least. It is definitely the worst part of IP.
