Well aren't you just insulting. Because copyright terms should be a fixed length and only last as long as it takes to encourage more creation, anything beyond that defeats the purpose of to promote science and the useful arts.
Life+copyrights last longer than an average human lifetime and are effectively unlimited the people who provide the protection never get to see the benefits of it. Let me be clear, the benefit isn't you selling a bunch of books, its the public domain.
