In a way that means the copyright lobbyists have won. You don't find the list interesting now, but 14+14 years after 1928 you would have. A lot of it would still be fresh in our collective minds. Now in 2024, most of it is dead to us.

What about 14+14 years ago (1996)... can you think of any music/movies from the mid-90s or before that would be interesting to remix? I sure can. But very few people are still going to care in 1996+95 = the year 2091.

It's at least partially dead to us because of the ex post facto copyright extensions, no?

But wasn't that the point? While any interest remained, the copyright holders wanted to milk every last drop of money to be paid for it.

Note, copyright holders often don't have your best interest in mind (like cultural enrichment or fun), or the original author's interest (like posthumous fame). They manage a property, an immutable and depreciating one.
