Make Your Money and Move On
Copyright law has been a source of much contention on the internet. While trying to protect their intellectual property, the entertainment industry has alienated customers by making it more difficult to access and share content. Some say that the solution is to end the practice of copyrighting. But that is ridiculous. How would anybody be able to make money without copyright? The best solution is to shorten the length of copyright down to no more than 20 years. That is more than enough time for the original creator to reap the rewards of their creation without further hindering the "progress of science and useful arts."
