I would change it to "the expected natural life of the author" which is their birthday + 85 years. Regardless of whether they actually are still alive past that date.
- giancarlostoro 2mo agoI would accept that as well, but crank it down to like 62 years since their date of birth, presumably by the time they would retire.
- fn-mote 2mo agoWhat? Think this through some more. Authors and artists are still creating after that age.

- duzer65657 2mo agoThis can't work: life expectancy (of humans) can differ more than 30 years around the world, plus there are significant differences between men and women, and corporations - which often own copyright on work for hire - can live in perpetuity.
