Except, as you pointed out, that's not how copyright now

something tells me it will be more than 95 years by the time
Walter passes considering Mickey's copyright expires in 8 years
: )
It is rather complex in the US... Mickey movies are covered by 95
years after creation, but D is covered by:
«70 years after the death of author. If a work of corporate
authorship, 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation,
whichever expires first»
