I'd like a shortening of copyright on media (music/novels/movies/games). Currently its like expected life of author + 70 years if its an individual creator or like 80 years if its a corporation.

Why the fuck does copyright need to be that long? Have it be 40 years flat then let it fall into the public domain. That should more than enough for the authors/holders to see their vision/ milk it, then if it has any cultural impact the public can do with it as it wishes.
