Firstly, no, Copyright is not property. It is a legally granted right to control Intellectual Property. Without that right, your intellectual property could be copied, used, changed, developed, etc, all without your consent, payment or whatever. So please, at least know what you are talking about and get the terminology correct.
So, you can have your intellectual property for all eternity. However, if you want the right to control it for all eternity then please, for the love of god, someone make a rational argument as to why that should be. Simply repeating it should be isn't getting anyone anywhere.
Many posters in this thread have attempted to give reasonable arguments as to why copyright should not extend for eternity but rather should remain the same as it is now. Why can't those supporting the idea of eternal copyright do the same courtesy?
