No one is saying that copyright should go away. But people are saying that ratcheting up copyright from 56 years after publication does nothing to increase the amount someone would have published, which is the whole point of copyright. No one is sitting in there study, holding back from publishing the next great American novel because it will only benefit a few generations of their descendent.
