That's why copyright has been extended to such a long time; copyright was
originally only 17 years. I am happy its been extended longer. I have a
lot of photos I make money from that I did more than 17 yrs ago, and I'm
still pretty young at 36. I think it should be the artist's lifetime for
work by individual artists like us. Corporate work doesn't need the
current time, which is about 150 years if I remember right.
