The real test of this will be when a site outside the US post a copy of a book
that is still generating significant revenues within the US. With the extension
of US copyright period this is going to happen more and more in the future. The
US has shown itself quite willing to enforce its law internationally. Smaller
countries would be quite leery of prosecuting a US citizen for violating their
copyright laws, if the book was in the public domain within the US.
