The original copyright law provide a 17-year period, renewable once for an
additional 17 years. However, our dear friends in Washington have just
modified
that to 50 years or some such ridiculous figure to accomodate Disney's Micky
Mouse copyright. Don't know the effect of this overseas. Sounds sorta Micky
Mouse to me...
