I was referring to the extension in 1976 from 28 to 50 years, and the subsequent extension in 1998 to 70 years, which everybody agreed upon that both were on Disney's request (hence its name "Micky-Maus-Schutzgesetz"). Other lobbying partners were the George Gershwin heirs and the Movie Industry (Jack Valenti). Here you see the countries which did not extend it the 2nd time to 70 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright_lengths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright...
