I voted 10-20 years with renewal, but I can see the other options being valid, up to and including the author's life or the author's life and surviving spouse's life. But life + 70 is outrageous in my opinion.
Life + 70 might be defendable, if and only if, the book keeps in print. Plenty of books out there that are still in copyright but not for sale. And that is the worst part.
