I certainly don't believe in "perpetual copyright". I'd personally like to see works enter the public domain on the death of the author.
You have not explained, though, how I can make a living as an author and software developer if people can freely copy my works without having to pay for them. I don't write software "for the good of society"; I write it to make a living. What is the incentive for me to write that software if it can be freely copied by people without paying for it?
