Gee, if only this stuff was in the public domain.

"But the author hasn't been dead for a hundred years yet!!"

It's so stupid. I understand people need to make money from their creations but 10 should be more than enough (or something like that).

It really is. Most studies estimate two to three years before the hype begins to die down. But 10 years does seem more reasonable, especially for trilogies or series.
