New Is it copyright free?
At the rate the US is extending copyrights, you won't be able to copy the James Bible. Or Shakespear.

New Shakespeare will never be copyrighted in the US
All of the extension acts only extend current copyrights. If they tried to extend lapsed ones the mess would be too large to contemplate.

Besides which, these acts are mainly supported by Disney, who largely cares about one copyright. (Mickey Mouse.)

Cheers,
Ben

It may be Mickey that is prompting it, but Sherlock Holmes has been re-retroactively-covered by it, and I'm sure many others.
