But but... our copyright lords at the Mouse's castle have decreed that copyright lasts 75 years after the author's death.

That means it's illegal to not respect the dead person's wishes. The copyright is theirs, not their descendant's.

Copyright lasts for that period, but it doesn't continue to belong to the dead person.
