I wonder why Hollywood box office numbers are down

I'd be surprised. The vast majority of revenues come in the first couple of years.

-
two different things - when are most revenues earned, and how much do they discount future revenue streams. If revenue is constant, first 20 yrs only represent 70% of present value
-
Oh, sure, 30% with constant revenues is reasonable, but nobody ever forecasts constant revenues for these works
-
(and tbh even the revenues they do project that far will probably be discounted more than that. They probably just cut off the model about that far out)
-
I guess what I really mean is a combination of: 1. Almost all the revenues are soon after publication 2. Discounting would be higher for highly variable revenues like this compared to steady revenues like real estate or bonds
-
hmm we'll agree to disagree on this - bottom line remains, it's not politically easy and if Trump tried it every facebooker and redditor in existence would suddenly discover the principled case for eternal copyright
-
Oh it would be a lot more popular than you think. There was a lot of popular opposition to the extension in 1998
