Lifetime of the creator seems limited to me.
What solid argument could you possibly make for stripping the rights of an artist of their own work? Seriously? What solid argument? The only argument for stripping artists rights is that somebody somewhere doesn't want to pay to access their works. That isn't much of an argument.
There are some solid arguments behind science. Keeping technology limited and restricted is not good for the overall betterment of the people. A man keeping the rights to his painting, his book, or his music has no detrimental effect on the people.
