How is inheritance dealt with ? a family and lineage will surely want to benefit from an ancestor wealth as long as possible be it 14, 70 or even more years.

I don't see why society needs to care specifically about their desires. The only reason for copyright at all is we think it's best for the person creating a work to have exclusive rights to said work for a period of monetizing. If they have exclusive rights, a person is probably more likely to pursue creation and innovation. It is my contention that the current duration promotes rent seeking, which is against the spirit of the 1790's act.
