Nothing of that matters, because all that stuff is only relevant on how much of those works are leaking through the paywalls into public domain.

In essence, even copyright laws (same as patent laws) were made with the intent, that people who want to use it right now pay and those who don't want to pay see it 20 years later when it all become public domain and author loses all rights to his work.

I think at the modern time 20 years could be reduced to 1 year.

Otherwise there is just no difference if someone is creating something or not. For people who are not paying, all that work does not exist and if you are willing to support artist then do you need all that coercion?
Artists who hide their stuff behind paywalls steal donations from artists who woud rather rely on donation model.
Because if they stopped working people who are willing to give money woud start paying to those who give everything for free anyway.

In terms of macro economy rules, what maters is how much money people are willing to spend on something so it does not matter who will get it. If you are willing to spend 20$ a month on artwork you will give it to some artists regardless of who they are and what they produce. once your 20$ quota is spent on few artists you are supporting the rest will get nothing. Most likely you will spend it on those who do not let you see their work for free while you will just enjoy free content without donating anything.
