...Huh. What if the primary requirement to keep copyright was to use them? I.E. In order to keep your copyright for a series, you had to keep making games for that series, or it became public domain? Not sure this is a good idea, but it's an interesting one. :/

@Angle Seems like it serves the intent of copyright, i.e. to encourage the production of new works. OTOH, it would tend to encourage the continuation of series well past their sell-by date (*cough*Wheel of Time*cough*). OTGH, the current system does that too.
