Again, you're making a leap too forward for me and I can't follow...
A short copyright (or none at all) does not make someone disown IP. The author of a novel is still the owner of IP even if he puts it in PD.
And companies can make money (provided that money is the one and only incentive for every human activity) even without eternal copyright.
