Again, just have to agree to disagree. I think they limits of copyright have to last at least until death.
While, I guess I'm not a "pure" or "100 %" capitlist as you pointed out before, I do spend every second of every day on stuff that either benefits me directly or indirectly. Nothing I ever do will ever be purely/directly for the common good.
And I don't expect others to do so either. I expect authors to be writing to try to make as much as they can off the work, same with musicians or any other kind of creators be it artists, inventors etc.
So I'll always strongly support that they should have full control over their creations at least until their deaths.
And I'm also an academic. The only thing I'm creating is new knowledge in my field. Yes I take from the past, but I'm also citing the creator(s) of that past knowledge every single time I do so. So maybe that has something to do with my strong respect for creators retaining the rights to their creation. *shrugs*
