Well the average career is 30 years. So you think that if I was to start a photography business that at the end of my 30 year run, half of my career should be publicly available? That means that people could use half of my life's work without owing me any compensation? Copyright protects a lot of small creators, not just Disney and the likes.
I think you should get paid for working, not for doing nothing due to work you did in the past. You know, like everyone else.
So if you release a movie that took you 5 years to make, you only get paid on the day it is released. Not the next day, because you should not get paid for doing nothing due to work you did in the past. Keep working. Gotcha.
Yes, absolutely. If it takes me a year to make a high-quality table, then I shouldn't keep getting paid for the table for the rest of my life + 70 years + whatever new extension Disney comes up with.
