I like the idea of a renewable copyright. And I would even go so far as to say the cost to renew (because of course the government would charge for the right) shouldn't be prohibitive.
I for one don't particularly care if Disney keeps an everlasting copyright on Mickey Mouse. Let them keep renewing it.
But allow all those forgotten "orphaned" works out to become of interest to some, just because they'd then be possibly available for free.
