I agree 20 or 25 years should be plenty of time to protect artistic work. No other industry or line of work has anything like that protection. A work published today by 10 year old could stay in protection for nearly 200 years. If that person was to live to 140, theoretically possible with medicine in future.

We do not continue to pay for most things once they are created. Unless they are continuous services. Artistic works should not be any different.
