I guess it gets a bit hazy if a copyright is all you have to pass on and you would appear to be drawing a line between an individual's son or daughter holding the copyright as opposed to selling that on to MegaPublishing Corporation (or similar)?

Before I go further: My own income is 100% from writing and I am a parent, so I do have a horse in this race.
I believe that copyright should exist, and that it should be heritable. However I also believe that current copyright terms are too long: I think something like either 42 years fixed or Life+28 would be reasonable, but I may be erring on the side of shortness.
