I'm sure you're smart and talented enough to find a way to make a living out of your writing even if copyright was erased today.

So, if you build a house, the government should take it away from you after 28 years? If you start a business, the government should take it away from you after 28 years? If you buy shares in a company, those shares should disappear after 28 years?

Why should copyright be different?
