In what way is it ludicrously small?
The important thing (from mine and others' perspective) is that copyright exists for no reason other than to incentivize creative work. From the standpoint of copyright,
no one deserves a penny!
And 14/28 years IMO provides just as much incentive as life+70.
No one has ever doubted that longer copyrights make more money for authors/publishers.
The assumption that we doubt that, is offensive, insomuch as it implies a complete void of intelligence on par with small children and babies.
