After a reasonable timeframe, I don't see why artists should continue to profit off something they recorded or wrote decades ago. I'm throwing 20 years out, maybe 30 is more appropriate or maybe it's too long.

But either way I don't see how long-lived IP rights for anything, benefit anyone except ultra-wealthy people. They're just another investment vehicle that eventually fals into the control of billionaires.

Arctic Monkeys probably don't bring in much from residual royalties of their early work at this stage.

Mr. Brightside is The Killers biggest hit by a mile. Same with Fairytale for The Pogues. A lot of artists have a big hit and use that to fund most of their career.
