Copyright lifetime should be limited to 10 years. I speak as someone who's business relies on copyright.

Could you explain more? I was mainly thinking of the small creator who might bang out one or two great works over a lifetime when I was considering the 40-50 year lifespan, reduced when going to market. Wouldn't 10 years be too short?

If it's great work, the vast bulk of the revenue you get from it will be in the first couple years.
