Copyright Forever?
The NY Times has an interesting opinion piece on whether copyright should exist into perpetuity. Currently, any written material prior to around 1922 (depending on which region you live in) is now in the public domain, and many publishers (including PoD publishers) have latched on to these works as a means of profit (with no author to pay a royalty to) - see my article "Publishing in the Public Domain". Some good points in the NYT article, well worth a read.
