    70-120 years old? Wouldn’t some of this be public domain now?

      One would think, but no.

      According to Wikipedia specifically about music

      recordings published before 1923 expired on January 1, 2022; recordings published between 1923 and 1946 will be protected for 100 years after release; recordings published between 1947 and 1956 will be protected for 110 years; and all recordings published after 1956 that were fixed prior to February 15, 1972, will have their protection terminate on February 15, 2067.
