At this point perhaps countries should opt out of the Berne Convention [1] and limit copyright to something like 20-30 years after creation.
If you can't recoup your costs after a couple of decades your work either isn't worth anything commercially and/or you are incompetent in business. Regardless of which, society would probably be better served if you were out of the way and the work could be leverage by others.
