Life+50 years is still ridiculous. Consider that you'll be 50 years 
*dead* by then. 90% of copyrighted material sees no use after *1* year.

Please consider using the Founder's copyright:
http://creativecommons.org/projects/founderscopyright/

It is based on the original US copyright system of 14 years + an option 
to renew later for an additional 14 years. Together, they are far more 
than what 99.99% of copyrighted material need.

Cheers,
Daniel.
