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. ;-)
