With all due respect, you cannot use the extension of copyright terms by Disney et al (which we all agree is abusive) as an excuse to justify illegal copying of current books (which would be in copyright in ANY country, since the author is still alive). It is just plain WRONG to read a book without paying the author, who's worked damned hard to write that book. Not just illegal but plain WRONG. Everyone deserves to be paid for their work if that work is used by someone.
