The purpose of copyright and patents is to encourage the dissemination of ideas and inventions. Making the period too long is as destructive to those aims as making them too short. Too short and people have no reason to use copyright or patent law; too long and dissemination is actually impeded. Copyrights are way too long these days and they should never be extended once granted as it makes a mockery of the concept of "limited times". Copyright should last 50 years at most.
