I'm not torn at all, I would say going to public domain is exactly what should have happened.

Here in SoCal, our past senator cosponsored the DMCA (aka Disney Millennium Copyright Act) to benefit her long time contributor.

Once authors are dead, works should enter public domain.

The "industry" has pushed back this basic principle for many years.

I often say, the only reason "classical music" is even a known thing is because it's not subject to copyright, and orchestras can perform it royalty free.

There will be no such thing with modern media...
