Attribution isn't something i have an issue with but the rest still sounds like censorship to me and I'd happily withdraw from any berne convention treaty obligations anyway since it requires life+50 of course there might be a way to compromise with full control to the author or anyone the author has assigned rights to for say 56 years and then statutory licensing as reasonable rates pegged to inflation for the rest of the copyright period. That would make old works free (libre) the real beauty behind the public domain but not free (gratis) for all the people who whine and bitch about authors deserving to be paid into infinity and it would cut the publishing industry off at the knees.
