Original Note:
According to the New York Times, "the 1998 extension was a result of intense lobbying by a group of powerful corporate copyright holders, most visibly Disney." This is the extension people are referring to when they talk about the damage Disney did to copyright laws. https://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/20/business/justices-to-review-copyright-extension.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
