How come?

How come patents (on actual property or software) are only 17 years (with the ability to renew for 17 more for a grand total of 34 years), while copyrights are for the life of the author plus 70 years?

Does it have somethng to do with a mouse that was created and copyrighted 20 years before I was born and who's copyright will still be in affect years after I die?

This is PLAIN WRONG!!! Copyrights are supposed to be TEMPORARY-NOT span MANY GENERATIONS!!!
