... it is. That’s why whoever created the original IP should have their rights protected and intact for decades.
I'd argue for statutory copyright on the order of 20-25 years, more towards the upper end of that, with the option to renew exactly once. In the extremely unlikely event that I make it big in software, I'd like my nonexistent kids to be secure. Their kids can get their own jobs.

However, I would also argue that a shorter term than that, but more than 5 years, is tenable if robust trademark laws exist. That is to say you could freely distribute e.g. Super Mario Brothers, but not sell it.

In my version, as long as your company exists (or another company buing the right), and you are selling and maintaining the software, you and your children (etc etc) could keep the copyright for 500 years or forever. But once you "abandon" the software, it becomes public domain.
