You bring up an interesting point. Now I know that criminal laws can not be made retroact in the US. Building codes grandfather existing structures. Perhaps different rules apply to different fields of laws. The Disney stuff didn't expire under the old law as the new law was put into effect before the Disney stuff  reached the limits of the old law. So the new law takes precedent over the old law for stuff unexpired but not for stuff that has actually expired??.

Is that true for copyright?

I thought that the copyright expiry of early Disney stuff was already expired
based on the laws (conventions?) at the tiem they were made.

What am I missing?
