What about co-writers, other musicians, producers and so on that create the work who live on after one of their cohort dies?

I've always felt that ten years was suitable for copyright fee recovery and then let it be in the public domain.



Limitation of terms to a sane time-frame is important as well but it seems like a different fight.

I just think its a shame that Jackson is going to get Mickey Moused for an entire human lifespan before having a chance at public domain. Buy it now before it goes back in the Neverland vault for good! (We mean it this time...)


"before it goes back in the Neverland vault for good!"

I sincerely wish that was an option I could choose!!
