Eitherway if the ancestor author makes money with copyrighted work during his life, they heirs sure have a right to claim that money. Now where to draw the line, just because he is dead? I mean how about the ancestor author being in deep comatose for years? Does he still get the money for his book and can bequeath it to his heirs until they turn of the machines?

Wouldn't this be an extremely paradox situation created by law?
