Other countries should loosen copyright terms. The only reason other countries previously benefited by adopting the US's draconian copyright terms was because of trade deals that have now been steam rolled by tariffs. If CA, AU, or the EU were to say "Nah, we're done - we're opening our own appstores, our own music distribution channels, making it easier for musicians to make more money and make derivative works" it would cripple the the US, deservedly, because they've been captured by the MPA and RIAA's and Disney's and other publisher's greed and control via the DMCA and repeated copyright extensions.
