Yeah, how about we shorten that to a cumulative 10 years out of support / maintenance / print or after the death of the author / artist, whatever earlier. For software, a five years out of support threshold would honestly be preferable but I'll be generous.

US copyright used to be an automatic 17 years, with the option to file for an extension for an additional 17, for a max of 34. We should never haved moved away from that.
