  Because authors will run out of renewal money much quicker than conglomerates.

    Not when they’re profiting off the copyrighted work.
    Regardless of being owned by a person or corp. A specific copyright will reach a point where it’s not bringing in enough money to justify the expense of renewal. Corps aren’t in the habit of holding onto things that aren’t profitable. People tend to do so longer than corps.
