No seriously, I don't get why people feel entitled to just confiscate the works of others, simply because they don't like the creators as people. If you don't like Rowling's takes, that's fine, but the notion of just being able to take someone else's work simply because you don't like them is such an insanely loaded take with such easy abuse, I don't know how anyone beyond the most shortsighted or simple minded of persons could unironically even entertain the idea in any semblance of a serious manner. --- Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG!

No, but also sort of. Copyright is way too long. The first copyright laws in the US were for 14 years with the option to extend it a further 14. Now it is 70 years after the death of the creator. 14 years might be too short. But that is way too long.
