    Even if no one does anything, the first book was published 40 years ago. It won’t leave copyright for another 62 years.

    Copyright is too long.

      Yeah, it should probably be ~15 years, and maybe extendable once if the original author is still alive.

      That’s enough to profit from the work, but not so long as to stifle innovation.
