Again, I
do understand the "point" of copyright. But I think the value of what the writer creates
should be something that he can pass down to his heirs. I don't understand why something of value, created by the writer can't benefit his children and their children.
I understand the limitations of copyright, I just don't agree with that limitation. I realize it's probably not a very popular opinion here. But it is what it is.
