Having anything to do with the death of the creator is madness I think - makes it hard to keep track of it, and is quite arbitrary. It also doesn't make sense for anything released by a company (films etc.) so you have all these pointlessly different spans. I think the very maximum reasonable copyright term is 50 years from the date of first publication/release. Simple.
