Copyright

I think it’s only fair for copyrights to be in effect till the author dies. If an author created something than they deserve to be compensated if someone else wants to use what they created. During the 1700’s the length of copyrights was 28 years. Life expectancy in the 1700’s was around 35 years. So the copyright laws were essentially covering the life of the author give or take a few years. What I don’t think is fair is for a company own have copyright for an additional 70 years after the creators death, that’s a bit excessive. The law should be changed to something more practical like 10 or 15 years after the author’s death.
