How long is long?
I console myself with the thought that if copyright periods stay as they are I'm going to be dead (and long dead at that) before my copyright runs out. Plus, if anyone ever transgresses and inflinges on my copyright I'd be flattered more than anything. The question of who ought to own a work in eternity is an interesting one. Does (insert the name of your your favourite genius) own their songs or not in that sense? Did they originate with him/her, or should the credit go to their muse? What is a muse by the way and where do they live?
