I believe there are. Off the top of my head I don't remember which ones. I do remember looking into some work not long ago and it was one year too new. However, this is only about US copyright law. One of the reasons for passing the extensions to the copyright act was to bring us into compliance with international treaties and laws. We could again be in the situation where in the US a work is PD but in the EU and other places it is copyrighted. What is needed is a world wide roll back of these long copyright terms. Jerry
