When I asked, long ago, why the other signatories to the Berne convention accepted that extension, I was told that there are a lot of influential Europeans who wanted to prevent Mein Kampf from getting into public domain (so that they could prevent its publication). I've no idea about the truth of this (It sounds farfetched to me, but why else did the other signatories go along with America?)
Anyway, I pin my hope on the other signatories refusing to accept a further extension. I don't know how realistic I'm being, but hope springs eternal...

I had no problem reading past page 24... I just accepted that the author had that one bit of a schizophrenic break, and that thhe rest is built upon a flawed premise.
One, which, aside from the flaw in the premise, logically follows on... If you can accept the flawed premise, the rest o the book logically follows. what's sad is that so may still accept that logic-flaw in the premise.
(I have other comments, but thhey can't go in this forum due to rules)

The US did not push for the last extension. It began in Europe and one of the arguments for the US copyright extension act was that produced conformity under the Berne Convention with Europe.
The story about Mein Kampf sounds good but the push for a long period of protection has its roots in the European idea of moral rights or author's rights and not keeping Mein kampf out of print -- it still is in print apparently.

Yes, indeed it (Mein Kampf) is in print. Reccomended reading in many history and poli-sci baccalaureate programs in the US...
I bought my copy on-campus.
The big problem with intellectual properties (Trademark, Patent, and Copyright) is that, if they don't expire, then derivatives spiral in cost forever; if they expire too soon, the creator can't recoup the investment of time (and/or money) of the act of creation and promotion of their IP.
