Either way the market is going to be mostly uniform as long as publishers control a significant portion of it. You won't get less than anyone else if everyone can revoke at year 35, and you won't get more than anyone else if the standard contract is a lifetime irrevocable transfer. On the surface, I like the argument that the value proposition is higher if it's a true permanent transfer, but there's no guarantee that more money would get passed on to the artist if the publisher could just increase its own margins.
