That's an interesting chart. It looks like (unless I'm missing something) anything that's not already public domain won't be public domain until 2019, at the earliest. (If it was published in 1923 and the copyright was renewed).
Somewhat sad, really. And that's without any other changes or extensions that happen between now and then...
Anyway, you could create that thread, but it wouldn't have any posts for a while ;-)
