It was almost 60 years as of 1909, 14 years before Disney existed. But if you believe the right itself is a fiction, I'm not sure what the term has to do with anything.

How is 1909 relevant to the origin of copyright?

The article explained how limited copyright is a useful incentive apart from any moral view. And it explained how the term affects the costs.
