I agree with about 85% of what you said, but this:

> We decided collectively

"We" didn't decide that copyright would be 75 years past the death of the authors heirs. Powerful corporations that have lobbyist representation "collectively decided" that on our behalf. In 2011 they were trying to put all this copyright law under the Trans Pacific Partnership making it an international issue and expressly taking away the rights of the people to change it. For most citizens the original term of 7 years was enough before it became public domain.

If citizens had real representation and not FAANG capital and lobbying, they could easily vote to tax AI, and most of them would.
