Same policy for software right? Or in HN fashion engineers are protected and other creatives are left out in the libertarian cold? I think going back to 14 years and one renewal is more than fair. It's far longer than all but the most popular works are profitable for but gives the creator a generation of control over it. No one can feel cheated. In the old days, most people didn't even renew after the first term expired. You wouldn't have seen Star Wars enter the public domain after 14 years but most of the movies in MST3K, books about certain time periods written at the moment, software that won't sell another copy would all be there.
