Who said anything about random strangers? That would just be weird. I'm suggesting something more like a 100% inheritance tax due assets beyond a certain limit.
Well, where do you think it goes once it's taxed away at 100%?
Oh, you're one of those people who doesn't believe in taxes. ๐
Huh? I asked a simple question.
Public domain literally means "random strangers." I don't see why my child (or whoever else I delegate) shouldn't be able to control the works that I make before I pass. If they did continue my works with full control, then any half-finished book or movie or game or other piece of art would torture them with legal battles and little reward. Banning inheritable copyright is a death sentence for half-finished media.
