Agree that the zeitgeist of copyright is definitely that it should be infinite in duration, regardless of whatever apologists want to tell you. That said, I'm a bit more optimistic, simply based on a gut feeling that you can only enforce such a policy, which runs directly contrary to basic human nature and how our species implements culture, for so long. People already complain that the stuff coming out of Hollywood is derivative rehashed crap - once enough of us make the connection between that and copyright law, copyright law will be reformed and not even Disney will be able to do anything about it.

The real zeitgeist is represented better by the millions of people who think it's stupid they can't watch game of thrones the day it airs in America. Our Convenience Culture views copyright as an unnecessary impediment to satisfying market demand. Look at how Netflix sponsored content creation to bypass the traditional copyright barriers.
