Yeah it seems crazy, especially since it was basically done at the behest of Disney INC. and Walt wasn't around to voice his opinion.

Maybe we need another poll about whether or not we should go back to having to file a copyright claim for anything you want copyrighted, a process for registering a claim at no cost would have to be developed, but I think streamlining the current process and making use of the crowd as well as a few tax dollars might work, we are talking about the public good here, and the advancement of the arts.

I don't think copyright should ever be tied to life, it's too easy for orphan works to be created that way. The burden of reregistering copyright should be on the rights holder.
