I don’t think it would. Expressing yourself costs money. Preventing people from recouping or offsetting costs makes expressing yourself a financial drain, one that in some cases will prevent the creation of work. Art becomes a White Elephant Economy. NC licensing has this negative effect, unless you are Napster.

Her view was that authors (composers included) often have families to support during their life, and that sometimes, financial returns don’t occur in any abundance until close to the death of the originator. She used as her argument, the author’s “starving children”, or if not starving, benefitting so little from their parent’s (parents’) work while the parent is living that they forgo ballet lessons, piano lessons, trips to ski resorts, including ski-lift services, which parents having handsome royalties from their authored works might have provided.

So to make up for these deprivations during the author’s life, to her, it is perfectly fair that the author’s offspring, grand-children, great-grand-children, first cousins once, second, and thrice removed, favourite aunts and uncles, and assorted buddies and their offspring should benefit for up to “X” years after the originator’s passing.

As you may tell by my attempt at cynicism, I do not completely hold to that view. I do feel that the author’s nuclear family should receive fair and reasonable post-mortem royalties if they have been deprived of good family incomes during the author’s life, because the parent has been busy authoring, and receiving “tick-all” for his/her authoring efforts.

Other than that, if the author is dead, it is, under current electronic engineering technology, not possible to pay him/her royalties which he/she can use in his/her world. That, of course, may change with further advances in Quantum Electrodynamics Engineering for purposes of royalties transmission to the “spirit” world(s), in which case, the definition of “life” for copyright purposes, would become a moot point. We’re then left with the heirs beyond the author’s nuclear family, who, often with no psycho/spiritual bond with the author and his/her works, want their license/royalties money from the public anyway.

By the way, does the Copyright Extension Act (the Sonny Bono Act) extend works for hire to life plus 95 years, or the greater of life plus 70, or a total of 95 years?
