    how about: tiered copy rights?
    after 5 years, you lose some copyright but not all?

    it’s a tricky one but impoverished people should still be able to access culture…

        Probably allowing everything but producing reproductions.

        Basically they could use the ideas from the book and whatnot to do whatever. But they couldn’t just print duplicates with a different cover and sell them for cheaper.

          I suppose it would encourage George Martin to get a move on. Otherwise you could set stories in his universe before he finished writing the third book. I still think 5 years is too short though.
