one reason that could have led to this, are the dozens of law firms who have specialised on mass suing users and were congesting courts. and in germany this has been going on for more than 5 or 6 years, not just recently.

yes. under US copyright law the line is 90 years if the copyright is owned by a corporation it's 70 after the death of the owner if it's owned by a person. Now while I think that is rediculously long, that is the law.
