Have you seen how often DMCA is used to silence the truthseekers? How often automated systems such as ContentID are taking down conspiracy-related videos that came too close to the truth?
You see, the copyright was NEVER about protecting authors and creators. It was always about protecting the middlemen and the government. Really, just like the patent system, as many patent and copyright trolling operations prove.
The government, on the other hand, works closely with the corporations to extend and make systematic abuse of the copyright systems such as DMCA notices possible. The involved corporations are Google, Audible Magic, most of the record labels and hollywood studios and of course Walt Disney Company.
The ContentID system is engineered to do so-called "false positives" on purpose. Most of these target channels that deal with inconvenient truth, such as 9/11 demolitions or channels that expose reptilian/NWO agents (really, the same thing). And the recent Canadian "review" of the copyright system will only end up in far more restriction, far less fair use protections and extended copyright term, I can tell you that.
This is all to stop people who speaks out against corporations and the government. And this is bad. We need to fight all the way to dissolve anything that even closely resembles censorship. Because that's all copyright is, a censorship of ideas, remixes, fan creations. It's censorship, plain and simple.

The duration of copyright needs to be shortened radically -- it's way too long.

No, no, it should be abolished completely. There was no copyright when Mozart was alive and he still was creating. There was no copyright when Da Vinci or Shakespeare were alive and they did still create. Existence or not of copyright system of any kind has no bearing on actual creative processes of artists, it only useful for leeches wanting to generate profits from one work they did once upon a time or (worse still) for people who only have selling rights to a work they did not made. It also serves as a very good excuse for NWO agents who don't want certain voices to be heard, to silent them.
I'm not pulling stuff out of my ass, mind you. NWO agents and reptilians do exist. You may laugh at me, you may ridicule me, but people would ridicule the idea of mind control experiments or that NSA spies on literally everyone, even allies until MKULTRA documents were released and until Snowden and (to a lesser extent) shadow brokers leaks happened.
