Copyright terms should be reduced to the original 14 years, if not less, retroactively. Copyrights should be non-renewable. Obtaining copyright should require registering each work with the copyright office. There should be an annual fee for maintaining a copyright that is proportional to the revenue received from the copyright. There should additionally be stiff penalties for asserting copyright when you do not actually have it.

I have to register my GPL'd script to protect my attribution? No thanks.
Everything should be immediately copyrighted if you mark it and specify its license terms.
14 years is long enough for total copyright but attribution rights should last forever.
