I can of several that were that important. The Mythologies, the Bible/Koran/other religions texts, Shakespeare, etc.

...and none of those were ever copyrighted. Would we know about any of them if they weren't allowed to be distributed/performed/recited because the copyright lasted 70 years after the death of the creator, and all of the creator's heirs died within 50 years of the creator?
