For decades, copyright only increased in length in the U.S., and there’s nothing stopping them from extending it again.

It needs to go the other way, and it needs to be attached to the creative person responsible.

The inclusion of copyright in the constitution is for encouraging creativity. A short monopoly is all that’s needed. Anything more is just greed and does nothing to support more creativity.
