Copyright is much newer than books.

So is internet and rapid copy-sharing of books.

I personally feel our copyright laws are too rigid, but that doesn't mean copyright shouldn't exist.

After x years, any book should be free to read, after y years, it should be free to be incorporated into AI models, after z years it should be in the public domain.

I don't get your point. Because we can, we shouldn't...?

That's already the case, but x = z = 120 years (and y = 0 or 120, depending on who you ask...)

The first U.S. copyright law set x = z = 14 years. That's why many people think copyright law is out of control.
