You do understand that copy rights were never meant to extend past the
life of the owner, don't you? They were always meant to be of limited
time in order to allow the owner to make a living while producing the
next work, essentially ending the need for patronage. The fact that we
have copyright at all is because the Founding Fathers compromised.
Personally, seeing how things turned out, i think the compromise was a
mistake.
