I don't know. As technology becomes cheaper and politicians become more
expensive, we may reach a tipping point where zombie houses prevail.

LOL!!!
In the US the primary driver of copyright extension ad infinitum has been
Disney. When they bump up towards the 7- year limit after disney's death
they will just buy enough votes in Congress to extent the copyright to 140
years. It'll cost them a few million dollars but that's a lot cheaper in
the long run than running a zombie house. ;-)
