  I had no idea the 50 years after death was the "minimum" and some countries add more years :O /edit: I was a bit confused about the +50 list listing European countries, but the text saying something different. > In most countries of Africa and Asia, as well as Belarus, Bolivia, New Zealand and Uruguay; a work enters the public domain 50 years after the creator's death. > In Bangladesh, India, and Venezuela a work enters the public domain 60 years after the creator's death. > With the exception of Belarus (Life + 50 years) and Spain (which has a copyright term of Life + 80 years for creators that died before 1987), a work enters the public domain in Europe 70 years after the creator's death, if it was published during the creator's lifetime. > United States: Under the Copyright Term Extension Act, books published in 1930, films released in 1930, and other works published in 1930, will enter the public domain in 2026.
