Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?

  It’s not idea, it’s how art worked since ancient times. Artists were always sponsored by kings and noble people and this art is now in museums, somehow along the way we put art in hands of corporations, and money in hands of idiots and leave countries with nothing. We have countries with ministry of culture that posses no culture. We pay taxes and get nothing back.

    Tbf, this has been the rule, not the exception, for most of recorded history.
