I am generally in favor of reduced copyright terms, as a consumer of these works, but the thought has crossed my mind, that authors may be motivated, to some extent, by the idea that they are leaving a long-term financial legacy. I come fro

I've seen comments on HN when this point was raised, that newer antbiotics are also held back for serious cases so sales turn out lower during the patented life of the drug, which provides a further disincentive for developing them. It
