Not an option in the poll, but I'd say that copyright should extend from creation till the creator's 80th birthday (living or dead) with a minimum of 20 years (for creations after 80). It's just like a normal job, you get paid until manditory retirement, then you have to live off what you saved. In the event of death before before 80, copyright goes to your heirs (acting like an insurance policy). It's a bit harder to police than life+term, but a solution might be to get the goverment's tax agency involved. Tax collectors know everything. (darn, no tinfoil-hat conspiracy smiley!)
