Copyright lasting X years (nothing to do with the life of the author) removes a lot of the uncertainty as well. It also provides all of the benefits that copyright was originally intended for without the power/control/profit motives that it has been turned in to.
Figure out how long it takes for the average work to become profitable. That's how long copyright should be for. No more, no less.
