You're really pointing out a couple fundamental principles where growth has been able to occur one layer at a time over a nonsensical foundation.
This doesn't lend it self to a sensible solution.
There's no way that computer code should have ever had any legal similarity to entertainment properties like Disney characters.
Plus so many people don't want to pay any attention to the way there's a big difference between entertaining software like games versus things which are needed before "machines" will even (barely?) run, or run more superbly which is not the same either.
And there's no way any "rights" should exist for an extended period.
Among other things these need to be corrected more so than ever (or AI will do it for us). The problem is it all needs to be sensibly reversed not gutted in one big shockwave. But AI is here to shock. It doesn't even take superintelligence, if the people who gradually caused the problem over the decades were below-average things would have come out better as long as their objectives were less predatory.
