Discworld rerelease is 'on the cards' according to the original game's director, but is 'a complicated process' because King Charles may own 50% of the IP rights (www.pcgamer.com)

It sure would be helpful if there was an automatic release of property if no one does anything with it for 25 years.

Even if no one does anything, the first book was published 40 years ago. It won't leave copyright for another 62 years.

Copyright is too long.

Yeah, it should probably be ~15 years, and maybe extendable once if the original author is still alive.

That's enough to profit from the work, but not so long as to stifle innovation.
