Copyright should belong to the lifetime of the person who is creator or 20 years from the original creation if transfered or created by a non-person entity.

Nah, even an artist should lose monopoly after 20 years. What is their incentive to make new stuff otherwise?

Their incentive is.... making art is fun and a passion. Holding copyrignt allows artists to earn a living while freely pursuing their passion. Artists already struggle to get paid well for their work... and you want to strip away their rights to their work? Do you also pay your artists in impressions?

An artist isnt stripped of anything, they can still work on an old IP. Fans will likely follow if they're actually good. They just would lose the ability to stop anyone else from profiting off it. I happen to be a content creator and aspiring writer myself, and have every intention on placing my works in the creative commons
