As someone who deals with patents/copyrights in the daily job, I can say that copyrights and patent extending beyond the life of the author are not an incentive for the author/inventor. They only serve to enrich the companies that own the copyrights after the death. I'm not saying this is a terrible thing. I'm not some "blah blah blah the multinational corporations man! blah blah blah". But when people argue that patents/copyrights of a duration that extends beyond the life of the author/inventor to incentivize them.....that's total BS.
