Props to Sigmaleph for moving this.

Our current copyright length of 95 years is morally indefensible. Copyright infringement is a valid pushback against excesses like that.
So you only consume media that is over a certain age? Or do you consume media that is new?
For the record, these are direct questions.
Like I said, at least when it comes to software, I don't buy it unless I have some assurance that it will be around for a long, long time -- either in some easily-accessible physical media like a video game cartridge or I get the source code so I can port it to newer platforms. Basically, if it's a pay-for-download, I'm not using it. Most of the software that I use is free software, so that's almost never an issue. Almost all of the video games I have are over 15 years old, and I claim 10 years would be a fair copyright duration for games.
The new movies I want to watch are generally in theaters, so I do end up purchasing a movie ticket for those. If the movie is very inconvenient to get to through official channels (say, a film festival release only), I get it with a torrent.
I download new TV shows because they are broadcast to the public and broadcasters should have no expectation that their data remains in private hands. We already made the mistake of leasing valuable TV channel space for them to use exclusively, and I don't see any qualms with storing data that is already being broadcast.
