In the US; of course, 70 years after death of the author isn't
particularly global, either. Several nations don't recognize
international copyright; others range from life + 25 years (e.g. Sudan)
throught life + 50 years (e.g. Berne convention nations; Canada,
Australia, Poland, etc.) through life + 70 years (e.g. EU nations) and
up to life + 80 years (e.g. Columbia).
