I've been thinking about this a lot. What do I do with the copyrights of my books? I want to leave something for my wife and children in case I get trampled by a herd of emo bunnies on their way to a sale on purple hair dye, but at the same time, I think my kids should make their own mark on the world.

I personally believe copyright should be life of the author + 10 years. That is enough time for my family to become self sufficient. As far as companies go, they can find new artists to foster. With a 70 or 100 year ownership these companies are kind of like gollum and his precioussssss.
