Only since 1979 has copyright been longer than life.
Copyright stifles cultural evolution and suppresses creative expression by preventing ordinary people from subverting, reinterpreting, and otherwise reusing cultural icons.
The original 28 years of copyright would be enough for everyone from small artists to Disney to see massive ROI on works of art.
Art from 1998 is irrelevant or has already made the creator rich, so it's clear that even 28 years is an overshot.
Refusal to share when it costs nothing is simply greed. Let the people create and innovate. Let our culture evolve.
