    Copyright should exist or artists and writers can’t avoid having their work stolen by much larger companies.

    I think it’s worth defining a hard limit for non-person entities to own copyright. That’d mean post a certain limit, game code, artwork, music etc would be free to use. Human-owned copyright should probably be life with a minimum period of average life expectancy, with maybe provisions to allow it to cover your children too? Prevents corporations from waiting until your mum dies in an accident and immediately taking her life’s work and using it everywhere.
