Do you believe that copyright law should be reformed?, or who oppose extensions of copyright terms or particular expansions of copyright, droit d'auteur, or neighboring rights (e.g., broadcast rights, sui generis database rights, anticircumvention, DRM technology mandates, moral rights). Discuss, anyone who is interested in holding the scope of copyright rights accountable to the public interest or other principles

I believe that copyright law needs a serious rethink, as it has completely failed to keep pace with a changing world.
I think that shorter copyright terms, as well as changes in which rights are automatically controlled, would make the world a safer place and encourage innovation.
Another change, which I would love to see is a change so that copyright can only be owned by individuals, rather than companies.
