Very relevant to your statement (I don't regard the expression of an opinion regarding the time allowed for an author to earn money to be an argument.)
You said:
"If he couldn't make money in thirty years, he has no sympathy from me."
You ignore the fact that there are many reasons why a copyrighted works can continue to earn revenue and at possibly higher rates, as time goes past.
As for your comment about technology and CO2, that isn't a phase, that is development/progress.
BTW, the comment about software was sarcasm.
