In the first place copyright law changed in 1978.

It's changed since 1978 too. LOL goofball

The rule that a copyright expires 50 years after the death of the
author first became the law in 1978. Previously, the law had been that
a copyright expires in 28 years regardless of whether the author was
dead or alive.

God, Sloan! It must be tough knowing Everything about Everything! LOL
