Under the current laws there is no renewal. The max copyright length
applies automatically. The renewal requirement was dropped a long time ago.
Anything that fell out of copyright (i.e. was not renewed) before that
change occurred went into the public domain and stayed there (there are a
few exceptions but it gets too complicated). Those that were still under
copyright at the time of the change had their copyrights automatically
extended to the max length.

Thanks, the data is nice to know though.

Warmest regards,
