You know, I have no problem with treating copyrights as a type of property. That means it must be registered and taxed in proportion to its value. It may be a better situation than both always short lived duration and the taxed by increased amounts options.

Most property isn't taxed, in most places. The big exception is land/real estate, which is sometimes taxed.

For copyright, part of the problem is that most copyright is valueless in many senses (including financial). No one is making money off it. No one is reading/watching it. It's like art in a vault. Freeing the works would allow people to access them. Free as in liberty, as well as beer. The two are related, often.
