Yeah I don't think copyright should last longer than a couple of years, but I'm not in charge of anything. I had this idea of copythrough, where a draconian dystopian sci-fi monitoring system existed where TVs knew who was watching, and creatives got paid out by the number of eyeballs per minute. Couldn't decide where to take the story though.

They have a draconian dystopian system to track who watches their content illegitimately and, more importantly, who doesn't.
