Assuming the author does not die young it is likely that the author's great-great-grandchildren will be the last rights holders before they expire. In my opinion this is no longer promoting "the Progress of Science and useful Arts" as was originally intended, but to secure a legal monopoly that is not allowed in regards to patents.

Yes, "quite long" != "unlimited", but that's not what was said In fact, I don't even see the word "unlimited" in there anywhere.

This rubbish has already gone on too long but I thought better of you than selectively quoting one part of a multi-part thread to prove a point. If you genuinely have only read this tiny bit then you should read posts #37, 39, 40, 43, 47 and 48 and you'll see the words being discussed in several places but frankly I wouldn't bother, it's not worth the effort any more...

Do we need another mod notice in this thread?

Drop the subject now, or the thread risks closure.
