Better suggestion
Here's a better suggestion: set it for 14 years, and make it renewable for another 14. That means that you would have to actively renew it, otherwise it goes into the public domain. This renewal should also not be for free and should require some effort. That means that only those making a profit on the material would bother to renew.
