Err, first copyright laws do not expire ever.  Copyrights do expire
though.  17 years is for patents (and that is with the extension I
believe).  I don't remeber what copyrights are exactly.  But at a
minimum for stuff owned by individuals rather than corporations, the
term is at least life of the individual, without even having to register
the copyright.  There are numerous books that explain the intricacies in
lay terms for the benefits of artists and such.
