I know many artists and musicians. "Good business owners" is not that demographic, generally. The general theme here is a short half-life. You're advocating for shorter rollover - public domain after 7 years. I believe society needs a longer rollover. I'd advocate for the lifetime of the original author, for the reason that I believe that the author of an enduring work should be protected by copyright for the duration of their influence _not exceeding_ their lifetime. My reasoning is the reality that most creative activity happens during the earlier stages of one's life, that creative people are often guided to less lucrative short-term outcomes for the promise of greater long term outcomes. It's the case of being compensated mostly in options, great for the long term if you have long term success. But also recognizing that long term success should not amount to infinite future benefit.
