I wouldn't have said unusually short. 2061 (publication + 95) instead of 2067 (life+50).

I wish the US and the EU would adopt life+50 required by the Berne convention instead of the excessive life+70.

Of course, if I ruled the world, copyright would be more like max(life,50 from publication). But I don't see that ever happening. Life+50 might.
