Constitutional Challenge to (C) Code

Dear Friends:

What would be the likelyhood of success for a Constitutional Challenge of the Duration of Copyright under both current and pending US Code? It seems to me that life plus fifty-seventy years does not "promote the progress of science and the useful arts by securing for limited time." I do not understand how a lifetime beyond my lifetime is limited and how it guarentees my right to my work when I am dead. Class action, anyone?

Sincerely,

Robert E. Smith
