Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?

Should be X years after publication, lifespan should not matter.

A person at age 200 (I mean in the future when they find anti-aging tech) should not be able to gatekeep the stuff they wrote when they were 25.

A person publishing a book at age 30 then dies next day in a car accident should not lose the right to pass on profits made from the book to his/her children.

Copyright should be fixed-length, fuck lifelong copyright, fuck “corporate personhood”.
