That's the website moderating itself. It's not saying that content is illegal. Parodies and transformative works are protected by law but a website can make it so that content can't be posted on their site. Even porn websites have DNP (do not post) lists of subjects that aren't allowed. However, if an IP holder wants to they can sue someone over a fanfic, even if that person isn't breaking any laws. It's just that 99.9% of the time, they don't want to draw attention to it. Large companies would only do it knowing they can get away with it because of legal fees for those trying to fight it in court. It's shit but it gets abused from time to time. It's also why you hear about youtube content creators dealing with DMCA takedown notices even though they likely haven't broke any laws or rules.

Reasonable lengths on copyright are fine - 20 years with a 10 year extension option is enough time to make your money back, and even allow for a work to experience a nostalgic 'second wind'. The problem is purely how copyright has been abused and allows companies to maintain a stranglehold on properties for roughly the lifespan of a human being.
You should apply this logic to everything. You open a shop and only get to keep it for 20 years, build a farm only get to keep it for 20 years. Want to pass it down to your kids? Go frick yourself, you know what you can only keep your money for 20 years, that's enough time to spend it.
Personally, I think a multi-tiered copyright system would be best. Something where certain rights expire at certain times. For example, after 15-30 years people can make derivative works, but the original work is protected for longer. Additionally I think an availability requirement would be good, along the line of commercial works must have been reasonably obtainable within x number of years, or some effort to make it available needs to have been made.

Yeah let's destroy everything that was inspiered by public domain.
This. We should go back to 14 years. Or even maybe 5 in case of corporations.
Public domain has lead to the greatest works of all time. Things should be public domain.
I can't tell if this is serious or not.
>Fanfics shouldn't be illegal.
They aren't. Takedown bullshit and what the law actually permits are so far apart it's not even close.

Murder shouldn't be illegal either but we live in a fricked-up world.

Shut up, Disney. Obey the law
Didn't know assraping Pooh Bear's image was considered art.
Nothing should be illegal. Just let everyone do whatever they want.
Okay. I want to make something illegal.
