Entering the public domain in Europe

Summarize
Perspective

A work enters the public domain in most European countries (with the exception of Belarus) 70 years after the creator's death, if it was published during the author's lifetime. In 1995, the European Union extended copyright from life+50 to life+70, which had the effect of extending copyrights that had already expired. Thus the works of authors who died in 1944, which had entered the public domain in 1995, reentered the public domain in 2015.[1]
