15 years, with a single optional extension that must be applied for in the 14th year. If you can't manage to sell it in 30 years of marketing, you aren't gonna sell it.
This is a bullshit number that you've pulled from thin air. Corporations would obviously go for the full 30 years, and by the time it's getting close to 30 years, they'll have figured out another loophole to withhold their content from the general population.
Corporations only exist to pull a profit. They do not care about consumers, only their profit margins, shareholders and quarterly turnaround. Dumb comment all round.
It's not pulled from thin air. That's how copywrite laws were originally written, and I don't see an issue with those stipulations.
Corporations needing to be outlawed is an entirely different issue.
