The current de facto copyright length is the age of
Steamboat Willie plus one to ten years depending on how close it is to when Disney tells Congress to extend it again.

You are exactly right. I’m actually somewhat surprised that the congress didn’t actually just go ahead and word the lwa to be “the age of Steamboat Willie plus 5 years”.
Of course that would mean that Disney wouldn’t have to come back every few years with buckets of cash to make sure their congresscritters stay bought.
