Strongly disagree. Just as a house and land that my great grandfather bought can be passed through the generations to me and my children, if my great grandparent wrote a book that legacy should be passed on to future generations in perpetuity.

A house and land are "real goods". "Intellectual property" is not. And NO ONE is entitled to an eternal government monopoly, which is what this is all about. The Constitution and writings of the Founding Fathers are quite clear on the difference, and why a TEMPORARY monopoly, enforced by government, is useful to society. Take your argument up with them.
