So do writers, in my country. They have pension, health, schools, and everything like every other citizen.
And they pay taxes, too.
Pension is a total different thing than eternal copyright. And the lack of a Welfare Policy in some countries is not a valid excuse for it.
But, if it's the purpose of copyright, Italian works should not be kept under copyright for such a long time...
Zelda, do French writers have pension and health like other workers have?
