Contrary to the infinite duration copyright idea, it has live examples.

And there are people who are beginning to get pretty pissed at what has been happening with the copyright's owners lately...


Interesting point, ever since there's been more than 10 votes, the ratio has mostly stayed the same:
- 1/3 is in favor of a copyright duration that goes up to or beyond the death of the author
- 2/3 wants to put a hard limit on it.

I assume of course the later are not thinking X or death of the authors, whichever is the longest.
Personnaly, I'd settle for X or death of the author, whichever is the shortest.
