Looks like Mickey Mouse snuck in another extension to copyright in the new NAFTA. Going from Life +70 to Life +75.

It's disingenuous to call that NAFTA, since Canada has not had any input into it.
It also has not been approved by Congress yet - so make this a midterm election issue.

At least it's better than the last attempt I heard about a couple months ago -- if it wasn't a hoax, they were trying for permanent copyrights. If real, it probably seemed like too much even for the most submissive of their lackeys.
