As far as I can tell copyright has ended up being similar to ownership of normal PP where the property in question will eventually wear out, break down or be otherwise lost. Adding a life term even replicates the fact that we don't usually know how long the property will last
So what? You didn't write it, therefore it doesn't belong to you. Even after some imaginary date, it still doesn't belong to you.

Copyright laws are nothing more than legalized theft of an author's works.
