If you have any respect at all for the core notion of copyright -- which was originally supposed to be about getting more works into the public domain -- the idea that you can then take works back out of the public domain is downright ludicrous

you might want to go back and look at the original congressional transcripts for the copyright act
the entire arguement for granting the exclusive right was to create an insentive to create the work in the first place to that there would be
more work in the public domain when the term of the copyright expired.
