That is going to happen regardless of the safeguard, because we have the safeguard and creators are already outmaneuvered. If the safeguard is removed then at least megacorps won't have an eternal lock on creative works.

Huh? Tons of creators make good money off copyright without having any connection to megacorps.

And the simple fix to 'eternal lock' is cutting copyright duration back toward 14+14.
