Not sure if sarcasm.

Patents and copyrights for things wealthy people control last the better part of a century, if they ever expire. It is only us plebs that are bound by the intent of those silly patent and copyright laws.

Copyright works like you said, because of Disney mostly. Patents last max 20 years from filing, by law. Unless the US patent law is a total shitshow compared to the rest of the world.
