Yep, imagine if the old laws applied and someone could just create a cheap streaming site with all the stuff that went into the public domain after 20 years. You'd have multiple streaming sites with the same content just competing on service and price instead of what exclusive content they had.
I would definitely think that having a vast PD library available would reduce piracy.
