>Is there a point where a book *should* enter the public domain?

Ultimately, yeah, I think so.  I think that at some point, a work of art must
pass from the hands of the creator to the hands of the world, so that it can be
remembered and propagated and cherishd.  

What that point in time might be, is what the lawyers are still trying to
define.
