I'd like copyrights based on the amount of time elapsed after the last publication (either paper or ebook). For example, if a book hasn't been published after about 20 years from its last publication, it would be declared public domain. Without such a time limit, the vast majority of currently copyrighted books (probably at least 95%) cannot be scanned and turned into free or cheap ebooks because of copyright problems, and will sit unavailable for anyone to read unless available from a public or private library.
