While this move is questionable, it highlights a justice dilemma with the current copyright term practice of death of author + x years. Especially when arguing that that the descendants should benefit from the works of an author, now it is effectively so, that relatives of someone who got murdered (possibly even because of their works) are in terms of copyright worse off than someone who did not, just because of their date of death. There should be some clause that has either publication of work + x years or birth date + x + plus average life expectancy.<p>At least France has such a special clause of plus 30 years for people who fought and died for the country: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mort_pour_la_France#cite_note-2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mort_pour_la_France#cite_note-...</a>
