It has been 21 years. Can we let the past go?

The same laws are still being abused by the recording industry, so maybe...no?

How many years does he want copyright to last?

I'll let things go after that much time has passed.

I don't think so. They were not children back then and there were no signs since then that they understood their mistake and now know better.

No, why should we? US Troops still sit in Afghanistan and Iraq, that's also ~21y.

I would suppose that more appropriate examples abound. Remaining in those countries today indicates that the action is not just in the past.

Depends who is responsible for the actual "action", specially looking at Iraq.
