Oct. 21, 1998 – President Bill Clinton signed the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. The act extends the duration of U.S. copyrights by 20 years. Prior to this, copyrights lasted for the life of the author plus 50 years. The act allows copyrights to last the life of the author, plus 70 years in the case of individual works, or 75 to 95 years in the case of works of corporate authorship and works first published before January 1, 1978. As a result, many works including several characters owned by the Walt Disney Company will not become public domain for many years. (The act is named after the late Congressman Sonny Bono, who had favored this position as a songwriter and filmmaker even prior to his entry into politics.)
