My favorite is that after the initial short term copyright expires, the copyright holder has to renew every year. However, I understand how that could be quite burdensome for an author who has a number of books under copyright. I also think that copyrights past the initial granting should require that the work remain publicly available and that fees should be tied to the price of the work.
