This is already a hot legal mess.

The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) should come up with Berne convention 3.0 that provides:

- increased protection for human authorship

- longer copyright terms for hoomans

- shorter copyright terms for bots (5 years)

- moral rights preventing 'globbing' by generative AIs

- royalty system for original authors

- derived computer-generated works pay

I'd like to see a blockchain ledger-esque system where human authors can claim authorship and they receive nano-royalties every time works are derived from it. The generative AI's can 'glob' it but they will need to pay their dues.

Importantly GAI's can't register their stuff in the hooman copyright chain.

I think the last thing we need is even longer copyright terms for humans.
