Limiting it to "profiting" opens up a giant load of issues. Is an artist not profiting from their art, do they not pay the rent with it, increase their reputation? Isn't a scientist profiting from their research, as results will also benefit their reputation and get them the next grant or tenure position / promotion? If you're limiting it to "immediate profit", I guess Amazon could've used anything and everything because they never made a profit until 2001. I very much agree regarding the years, though. And it's not even 70 years, it's 70 years after the creator's death.
