99 years to enter public domain... I don't think this is fair.

What do you think is reasonable? 14? 24? 50?

The original Copyright Act of 14 years, with an option to extend an additional 14 years, seems reasonable to me.

50%+1 of a standard living persons actionable career. Do assuming 18 to 70. That makes 52/2 = 26 and +1 = 27. For sake of even numbers, you can fight over 25 or 30. I don't mind either way, both are far better than the current status.
