Yeah, death + 70, or 95 years if it was made directly for a corporation.

It gets a lot more complicated than that, with all the various things made before the various copyright extensions.

And, due to lots of international agreements pushed by the US, the US version of copyright is fairly widely spread.

And, yeah, my throwaway point was, if copyright lasted for 5 years, most of the money made from copyrighted things by the original makers would still be made.
