    Should be X years after publication, lifespan should not matter.

    A person at age 200 (I mean in the future when they find anti-aging tech) should not be able to gatekeep the stuff they wrote when they were 25.

    A person publishing a book at age 30 then dies next day in a car accident should not lose the right to pass on profits made from the book to his/her children.

    Copyright should be fixed-length, fuck lifelong copyright, fuck “corporate personhood”.

      Also this length should be at most 25 years and 10-15 years is better. These 75+ year copyrights are total BS.

      They shouldn’t need to inherit anything wealth from their parents. We are playing wackamole instead of just building a better system than the current obviously flawed models that we all… Inherited. Ironic
