We can argue about how long copyright terms should be, but I have no problem with the fundamental principle of posthumous copyright.

Not with the fundamental principle. But I do have one with the current setup. I still think a "x years after first publication" and not "x years after death"... With the first, the heirs will still get something if the author dies within that x years.
