For myself, I think that copyright continues on far, far too long. IMHO, pretty much anything over 50 years old should pass into the public domain. Yeah, that includes Beatles songs.

The initial copyright was for a maximum 28-year term. Under that regime, the entire Beatles catalog would be in the public domain, as well as most all 'classic rock'. Heck, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was released in '73.
