What is the downside to limiting all movie and software copyrights to 10 years?
Source code and materials etc can remain trade secrets if desired?
And all IP with a movie as well - including characters. This would stop a studio from forever milking the same piece of IP forever.
One downside is it would motivate companies to get intellectual property registered under a trademark with indefinite protection rather than copyright. Even with our current lifetime + 70 year protection we have companies like Disney getting characters registered as a trademark.
I have a bit of a titanium fetish. 90% of my cutlery and cups in the kitchen are now made of titanium. I especially love the (double-walled) bowls.
I really like touching the material. I like its aesthetic. I find it very strange myself. My first encounter was 15 years ago with the Snow Peak spork that I bought for outdoor activities/camping. Later, I acquired a Snow Peak cup, which I still use every day.
I was sanding and polishing a long handled titanium spoon to make it more smooth (slowly) by hand and the friction from that quickly made it too hot to hold. It's thermal conductivity is 1/10th of aluminum and roughly 1/2 of stainless steel.
Another fun thing is to anodize it to different colors. Compared to aluminum it can be achieved without the use of caustic chemicals.
