I was just thinking that life plus 35 would be fair. It would give ample time for any children to be well into responsible-decision-making adulthood.
I'm also seeing merit in Kenny's idea of not allowing corporations to hold copyrights, rather perhaps, there should be some sort of standard work-for-hire, exclusive license deal, sort of like giving the corporation an effective "power of attorney" over work done for them by their employees.
