I disagree, one of the arguments in eldred is that congress is not allowed 
to set lenghty terms if that is only good for some categories of works,  
Most works don't need 28-50 years...

newspapers : max 5 days
magazines : 1-2 years
computer games : 5 years
computer software : 5-10 years
movies 5-10 maybe 15 years
music 5-10 maybe 15 years

just ask yourself, how many movies older than 15 years do you watch, there 
may be some, but the select few that still make some money out of it, can't 
possibly justify such a lenghty term...
