    Making it so corporations cannot directly own some random valuable thing?

    It’s a nice thing to think about, but it has 0% chance of happening in our current system.

      They kind of could. They could employ someone to own the copyright, and pay them handsomely to retain control of that copyright.

      That’s honestly how it should be. The same should be true for patents.

      Trademark, however, should be company controlled.
