I think the only issue here is how long copyright lasts. Originally, it was much shorter:

The length of copyright established by the Founding Fathers was 14 years, plus the ability to renew it one time, for 14 more. 40 years later, the initial term was changed to 28 years.

And now it's 95 years, or the life of the author + 70 years, whichever is shorter. If we went back to the original copyright duration, we probably wouldn't have this issue, especially if the renewal required some proof of need.

I don't think the problem is corporations owning copyright, but how long copyright lasts.
