Um yea... I don't like this idea. I rather just have law that sets a time where upon publication, a timer starts. The term of the copyright should not be depedent on the health of a person. What if a writer die like a week after publishing a bestseller that would've made millions? Their family shouldn't be deprived of the money just because the writer has bad health.
But all your other points seem reasonable.
Oh yeah I can definitely see that. I was thinking in terms of avoiding the "what if someone was murdered for their copyright?" argument, by just removing any incentive for that to happen. But then obviously that can cause other problems too. Like I say, it needs some fine-tuning!
