Re: The current scheme is not too bad.
"Seems pretty same to me."
Thanks defiler.
I do agree with some other posters. in essence. that creative works, especially culturally significant ones should become part of the public domain before the heat death of the universe. If the spirit of the Copyright length is to allow the creator to leave a legacy for his family, 40 years is more than enough even if they die rather young (assuming the legacy is worth something). 70 years is far too long but it had to be put there to allow large entertainment companies to extend corporate owned copyright to be as long as they are otherwise it's an easy dodge to just form a corporate entity to be the holding company for all of ones works.
