Most of the world operates on a life plus 70 for copyright and a few line Australia and Canada have life plus 50. Some have never signed the treaty while others have signed but never enforce it.

Actually Australia has "life + 70" too these days. They USED to have "life + 50", and those books which entered the public domain under that law remain in the public domain, but it now has "life + 70" like most other countries do.
