if the extension act of '78 hadn't been put in place, everything published before 1953 would be in the public domain now
How does the 1953 date factor in there? I was under the impression that, initially at least, copyrights expired 50 years after the death of the author. (A creative project I've thought a lot about doing would involve adapting something made before 1953, but it was made in Canada.)
