Want to boost IP creation by creators and make distributors beg? Have copyright return to creators after 20 or so years after they've been transferred via whatever contracts. Lots of renegotiations will mean lots of money for Picassos!

After all, everyone says the aim of stronger copyright laws is to protect "creators" (those same laws that implement near perpetual copyright terms, extraditions, $100k+ fine and 5+ years jail that can easily be applied such as sharing a picture to your parents)

Sometimes it amazes me how naive some people are.

All this will accomplish is that contracts will then include a waiver of this right.

There are rights that cannot be waived. Ultimately it's law, not contracts, that is supreme. Although this is under attack, such as the proliferation of mandatory arbitration clauses, and the unwillingness of courts to invalidate them.
