The duration of copyright increased under us law in several


The duration of copyright increased under U.S. law in several steps since the eighteenth century until it reached the life of the author plus 70 years. Suppose that a writer completes a novel at age 40. If the writer lives to be 75, then the copyright will last for 105 years. At an interest rate of 10%, the present value of $1 paid after 105 years equals much less than 5 cent. What does this fact suggest about whether the efficient duration of copyright is longer or shorter than currently provided by law?
