But it's not just academics who have an interest in termination of transfer. It's video game authors, novelists, musicians - and maybe you, someday!

I feel mixed on copywrite. I like that historically it was to give a creator time to earn from their ideas in order to recoup investments made to innovate and a grace period for profit. The big issue is that grace period for profit is like a century, and there's no incentive to continue to innovate.
