Actually, as costs are ongoing, zero copyrights and patents should exist on a one time fee.
Every copyright or patent should be renewed each year, with a cost based upon what the cost to maintain the copyrights has been the previous year. Exactly like every other government regulated commodity or franchise.
No more freebies for authors, inventors, photographers, musicians, or other freeloaders.
