The old 14 year limit was a good balance, specially if updated to only cover commercial distribution.

Is this inaccurate?

Why would this be inaccurate? If there were no copyright laws, anyone could print a popular textbook and hence the market would drive the price down to just above the cost of printing it. What's unlikely is that we'll eliminate copyright laws.
