I don't unterstand why copyright would last longer than the lifetime of the authors who were part of the creative process. It doesn't make sense that it can be transferred like it is

Hell, let's compromise and say 20 years after the author's death. In case they have a small child at the time of death and said child's other parent isn't capable of the kid's upkeep, a little extra would help.

But what is it right now? 70 years? Literally no excuse for that.

At some point it just becomes a tool for making money off of other people's works

And look where it has left us: bereft of creativity.
