I figure the existence of copyright is for the benefit of the creators. The limit to copyright is supposed to be for our benefit (general culture, art etc..). That's why towards the start of the copyright period I tend to champion the needs of the creator. However, the longer the period passed, the more my consideration becomes self-centred - or at least not as much pro-creator.

That doesn't mean after 5 years of copyright I say: "Hey you! You've had 5 years - now it's my turn!".

But I do think that Life + 50 is ample time to make a living.
