Copyright stretched to the century-plus "life plus 70 years" term. Nothing entered the public domain for the next *20 years*.
So many of my comrades in the fight for the public domain were *certain* that this would happen again in 2018. In 2010, e-book inventor and Project Gutenberg founder Michael S Hart and I got into a friendly email argument because he was *positive* that in 2018, Congress would set fire to the public domain again.
