Adolf Hitler, 1945... 2015 is not too far away.

The issue of ability to remove DRM from entering-public-domain works is not an abstract intellectual one. It's coming up soon in the US, and is a constant issue in other countries.
George Orwell's 1984 won't hit PD in the US until Jan 1st 2045. EU on Jan 1st 2021.

However, it's already PD in Canada, Australia, and South Africa.
