Few of us will be alive when Jerry's works go out of copyright, given
that even if he died this very day, his copyrights would expire in 70
years. So why worry about that? A lot can happen between then and now.
If you don't like that ridiculous copyright period, blame the guys who
think they're perfectly in their rights to do unauthorized copying and
distribution. They make Disney and Bono look downright virtuous, and
dilute the credibility of those of us who want to change copyright
period (and maximum damages) to sane amounts (and time periods).
