That's certainly not what Disney wants, and there's no way from these poll results to assess if anyone here feels that a longer span is the way to go (indeed, if one choice is copyright should be abolished, another should be that copyright is permanent and never expires).
I'm not advocating for any particular position here, but my mother the statistician would spank me if I didn't point out the inherent bias in the way the question is phrased.  |
I'll admit I didn't think of that one.
That said, one of the reason Disney hasn't been able to have such a thing passed is that nobody in their right mind would consider it reasonable, I think.
