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

Might want to check your facts mate.
"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.
