How would that work for anything produced by a company? If you're a continuing run of stories, and a random artist dies, copyright on parts of your product suddenly evaporate? Getting a job as an artist would be like making an insurance claim: with a risk assessment. Good luck getting work as you get older or sick.

Why would a copyright entering public domain cause a problem with your product? Public domain doesn't mean you can't use a work anymore, more the opposite really.

And they'd still get 20 years for a work made by a 90 year with a terminal illness.
