What would be wrong with a 28 year renewable copyright that can be renewed throughout the life of the creator and then once by the creators estate after death?
I know there are some niche books I'd like to get ahold of for personal research purposes that were printed only once decades ago that can only be had for $400-$500+ for a beat up copy, IF you can find one at all. If the copyright on those had been allowed to expire due to lack of renewal there would be a better chance at them being accessible now.
