Exactly.
Personally, I don't mind the idea so much of a perpetual copyright - provided it requires the rights owner to frequently and actively participate in the process to keep the protections active after the initial period. (and perhaps a fee schedule to reflect the supposed value of the piece) I think its possible for a copyright bill to exist that both the EFF and Disney can both support.

The great-great-great-grandchildren of the authors? Some copyright acquisition firm? Shouldn't all incorporeal cultural output be returned to the public at some point?
