but what about people getting paid for the invested money of movies made by their ancestors, dead over 50 years ago (and up to more than 100 years ago, whatever is the current copyright term for movies)

do they have a right to enjoy being rewarded for work they didn't do but their ancestors did?

if the intention of those laws was to encourage creativity, how come they're stiffing it more than encouraging without any signs of any government trying to correct the laws to better match their purported intentions?

If your argument is about the absurdity of current copyright terms, you'll find no disagreement here.

We should have stuck with the original 14 + 14 as laid out in the constitution.
