If this were to ever happen you can be sure that a lot of the things I
create would never get released to the public.  In fact, I probably
wouldn't create very much of anything if that were to happen.

If you are telling me that I can only own my creations for five years
then there is little to no incentive for me to create anything.  The
same will most likely be true for lots of other people and without all
these people creating stuff, then where will we be?
