It wasn't 70 years after the creator's death at the time, I think it was something like 50 years after creation, so he was still alive when his first movies reached 50 years.

I didn't miss it, I just decided not to comment on that. Any computer decision should be confirmed by a person that really knows about the topic and the legal implications.
