What I dislike most about current copyright laws is the "lifetime + fixed term" aspect of them. It seems very odd that an author's earliest (and usually weakest) work should have the longest copyright.

I'd much rather see a "fixed term, or lifetime, whichever is longer", where the fixed term is 50 years or less.

Sadly, I don't see any way that that could be brought about with the current system of international agreements.

And there isn't even a poll option that's anywhere near my position.
