Games should be public domain after 25 years, everything else at 50.

Why can’t we get a law going that if you stop supporting some software product, game or otherwise, you should open source it and hand over control to the public?

Why not everything? Honestly even 25 years seems too long, make it 10.

some book series take longer than that to finish

Might give George Martin some incentive to finish Winds of Winter though.

Yeah but if someone wants to write their own sequel to a first book, before the series is done, that’s fine. Still not canon, just fanfic that can make a profit, and that sounds fine to me.

I think at a minimum if you stop publishing and supporting your own work you shouldn’t get to cry copyright whem somebody else does. For that context 10 certainly seems plenty long…

Because corporations get the laws written.
