    - the private copy exception
    - more in general: fair used instead of the present closed system
    - subject matter limitations (at least in NL there is a tendence of the =
    Supreme Court to extent copyrightable subject-matter)
    - rights conferred (using copyrighted material currently is not a =
    reserved right - one can read a book as often as one likes to - but =
    publishers may want to change this=20
    - copyright contracts
    - role of publishers/distributors(protecting a market that has =
    disappeared due to internet
    - exhaustion
    - collecting societies
    - levies
    - DRM
    - copyright abuse, from a copyright or even human rights perspective
    - enforcement reforms (IPRED1/2) - in particular limiting criminal =
    enforcement

Is it possible to achieve the equivalent of shorter copyright
using these methods?

Is it possible to achieve even the freedom to noncommercially share
using these methods?
