But why do you care about some copyright of a book or movie? Do you shake your fist at carpenters because the ownership of their work product lasts forever? In pretty much every other part of the economy, the work product comes with ownership rights that last forever. The real question is why should we stick it to the writers, musicians and artists by pulling the rug out from under them after so many years? I agree it's a practical solution, but it's definitely taking from them.
