I have to agree with PsychoDad on this one. If I create something why should my family not continue to benefit monetarily from that creation? If they want to sell that property to others to use, or make it available for free, that is their decision. But basically what you are saying is that after 10-15 years I don’t get to collect on something I created. Why should I suddenly lose the ability to profit from my creation?
“Intellectual Property” is merely a term used to denote a creation that is not physical. A book is technically “Intellectual Property” these days since it can be transmitted in an entirely electronic fashion. Are you saying that an author should no longer profit from his book after 10-15 years? THAT is silly.
