 A Constructive Proposal For Copyright Reform In Christian Engström's and Rick Falkvinge's book - The Case for Copyright Reform, chapter 2 - A Constructive Proposal For Copyright Reform, are described six points that can help to set all non-commercial copying and use free, and also to shorten the commercial protection time.

Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth It's a banality that people today appear to be to have less time than at any other time, while (or maybe on the grounds that) we restless and have more work sparing gadgets than our grandparents. After you send email or post to a conversation gathering, you are occupying others' time (or planning to do this). It is your obligation to ensure that the time they spend perusing your posting isn't squandered.  "Bandwidth" is normally utilized equivalently with time, however, it's actually an exceptional thing. Data transmission is that the data conveying limit of the wires and diverts that associate everybody in the internet.
