Right, patents are a whole separate thing. I added a clarification above that the 15 years/life is for copyright. The way I did patents is that corporations are ineligible for patents, and individuals get them for 5 years.
As long as labor is necessary, some form of market economy is likely to crop up, and as long as there’s some form of market economy I’m hesitant to limit the ability for individual creators to make a living in said market economy, so I’m not sure I’d personally go for such a large carve-out from patent protections.
I actually started writing up a a new constitution a while ago as a sort of thought experiment. It’s not finished yet but some of the highlights thus far include:
This strikes me as weird and unnecessarily convoluted. IMO the best solution would be to limit corporate held copyrights to 10 years after first publication or 15 years after creation, whichever is sooner, and limit individually held copyrights to the life of the creator. After that’s up, the work becomes public domain, and people can freely post it without repercussions, meaning the masses will handle archival and distribution essentially without prompting. Simple, with very few loopholes as far as I can see.
