Actually, plenty of people think the endless extension of copyright for the sole purpose of keeping corporate copyrights in perpetuity is a travesty. That's why the copyright extensions are called "Mickey Mouse laws"; not only for the negative connotation of the term, but because they are literally designed to keep Mickey Mouse's first appearance under copyright (which is why there's a new copyright law extension every time Mickey Mouse threatens to go into the public domain). Wikipedia: "This law, also known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, Sonny Bono Act, or as the Mickey Mouse Protection Act..."
