That's an americocentric view. Copyrights are shorter around the world. In fact, iirc, US has some of the longest ones.

- cromka 1mo ago"For some categories of works, the minimum duration is shorter: for example, the minimum term for applied art is 25 years, while movies have a minimum term of 50 years. Most countries have opted for a longer term of protection, as permitted." However, I stand corrected because I was under impression they expired after 50 years in Europe, or less. Turns out the movies I had in mind were intentionally made available to public but this did not come as a result of copyright expiration. My bad.
