The statute you quoted would be the one I would quote to substantiate my opinion, and being not a lawyer myself I've never considered or thought of interpreting it as you had.
So here's a question, then... to whom does the copyright belong if the copyright is perpetual? Say an unpublished journal is discovered from a guy who died 400 years ago... whose permission is required to publish it? Or can it not be published at all?
