People were creating art for thousands of years before copyright became perpetual. People were creating art for thousands of years before their art became feasibly monetizable. Hell, people were creating art for thousands of years before the concept of money even existed. I harbor precisely zero concern that shortening copyright to a "mere" 28 years will suddenly cause all human capacity for art to evaporate.
