Read about it here:http://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2013/shrinking

Worse yet, they can do it retroactivly.

I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings

Sure seems like "public domain" essentially doesn't exist and copyright lasts forever, and will remain that way as long as Disney exists.

While this is ridiculous, I'm surprised they didn't say this back wjhen Night of the Living Dead forgot to include it's copyright notice in the movie, thus entering public domain. They changed the laws because of this in order to allow people who make this mistake in the future to rectify it, but did not retroactively copyright Night of the Living Dead.

I think it's more of a "In this day and age copyright holders are bigger, more powerful, and have more money, so we have to do whatever it takes to appease them (and allow them to get even more money), even if its not in the name of freedom."

Fuck that shit.

In this world, the people with the money write laws. It's bad and terrible, but the only reason public domain lasted so long was that nobody had the media empires that exist today until recently.
