I'd like it to be life + 25, but I'd be happy with the Berne Convention of life +50. The increases to 75 and 95 are nothing to do with rewarding estate of author and little to do with books. It's driven by the desire to have various Corporates have control forever of the music, TV, animations and movies that they have produced.
DRM should be illegal. It doesn't stop piracy and is really designed to control the consumer.
