I believe that they MUST APPLY to have that copyright lengthened, it
does not automatically occur (and, on or before a certain day the work
will expire copyright)--you'd be surprised how many works still fail
that. Although, some publishing houses are set up to "automatically
apply", even though they had no interest in the work they end up gaining
possession of the copyright!

Individuals/corps make a living though such "questionable practices."
