This is not correct.

Copyright expires on works every year. Check out publicdomainday.org for more info.

Obviously if CTEA had not extended copyright protection by another 20 years, many more copyrights would have expired this year, but material is entering PD all the time.

Edit: This includes much of the work and letters of James Joyce... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jack...in-mostly.html
