It stops progress. If you can't make a profit in that time give it to someone else to try.
It's just an idea that belongs to all human beings and the universe.

Jerks like Trump can copy right a phrase like "your fired" give me a brake.
1. Why does it stop progress?
2. If I write or create something it is no longer just an idea.
3. What about people that are still making a profit 20 years later; then copyright would still apply? Is that the bar? Whether or not the creator is making money on it or not? Then just presume they are.
