Note that the post you quoted said it would be a good thing for content creators. And their heirs I guess in your scenario.
Not that it was a good thing for consumers.
For content creators, it is a good thing to have indefinite control over their creations and to ensure than they and their heirs profit from it as long as possible and that any illegal sales etc. are minimized.
