It the U.S., copyright seems like it should be "on the table" to be reformed since the concept of a "limited" copyright is baked into the constitution. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case, and in fact the U.S. has been trying to export longer and more onerous copyright law all over the world for years.

I would even be okay with the current copyright term in the U.S. if it was simply the case that 20 years into the copyright period you had to renew.
