It's "expiring" every year, as time passes, and new books are entering the public domain - everywhere except the USA. Eg, the books of authors who died in 1938 are now in the public domain in the UK; they were not last year. Please don't judge the copyright systems of the entire world by the (forgive my saying so, but it's true) peculiar system that the US has adopted.
