Probably exaggerated somewhat, but it would not be beneath them.
Iraqi copyright law seems more reasonable- um, how will extending copyrights 75 years after the author's death stimulate creativity when the author is dead, hmm? Sure there is his/her children, but that almost always an afterthought. And what about corporations? They don't die. (I suggest 70 years from date of publication).Under Iraqi copyright legislation, passed by The Revolution Leadership Council in 1971, a copyright lapses 25 years after the death of the author, but no more then fifty years after the publication of the work. It's shorter for private works, and there are several public interest exemptions.
We wonder which member of The Revolution Leadership Council penned this, or whether someone wrote it for them, but the real author of this enlightened document ought to step forward. Maybe they could help liberate the USA - which extended copyright to seventy years after the author's death - from Hollywood.
