do you think this crap will last 1000 years?
Life + 70, except if it's an unpublished work and the death-date of the author can't be established. Then it's 120 years.
Also, 120 years in the case of a work made for hire to a corporation.
You can thank Disney and the good folks on their payroll in our great legislature.
