Yes, two 28-year terms. But I'd like to see an unlimited number of terms, which would keep a corporation like Disney happy so they could keep copyright on the Mouse forever. But with anything not making money, the rights holders would probably not bother paying a renewal fee, and we'd have a lot more works in the public domain--especially orphan works.
