My proposal for copyright is that it should last for a reasonable period after the author's death--say 25 years.

There's absolutely no reason why copyright should have anything to do with an author's death. Make copyright last for the amount of time it takes an average work to make a reasonable profit. Anything more than that is just about greed/control and not about encouraging the creation of art.
