For production the current copyright system kind of works (except the whole debate on remixes) I'll give you that but for keeping older content...

Try to find some lesser known book or newspaper from the 80s in epub legally or non-top films from the 90s and you'll see what I'm saying.

Everything is trashed just after it's being produced. The uncomfortable truth for those large copyright conglomerates is that right now it's the piracy scene which keeps most of the content alive, to the point they even have to pirate their own content to release it again sometimes.

And then there's the whole debate on the length of copyright itself, there's no conceivable damage in any shape or form of pirating the Beatles.
