I notice every artist on this list is dead. These long copyright terms do not help artists, programmers, or anyone else who creates intellectual property. They only benefit capital holders - people who purchased the rights and want a return on their benefit. Such people are wealthy already, they do not need government handouts.
Companies like Disney do not require regulations like this in order to survive; they would do fine with less onerous copyright terms, and everyone else in society would benefit.
