At that point, Disney has assured us, the apocalypse is upon us; all of Western civilization will explode into porn and riots. At least, that's the impression I got from their legal filings.
I don't think so, myself. I think they've extended it to the point you can only see things from so far before you were born, there isn't a public pressure on it at all. Not enough to matter. Only way I see a turnaround is when the Supreme Court finally decides enough is enough. Until then I think they'll continue to extend it indefinitely.
