That, I agree with.

I want copyrights to go back to 28 years, with a 1-time extension option. Possibly extensions with staggered fee schedules: another 28 years for $1000, 20 more than that for $10,000, and so on.

I don't actually care if Mr. Mouse ever enters the public domain, but I want the B-movies of the 30s-60s to be available.
