This baffles me, since the 1978 rewrite of the U.S. Copyright law
automatically extended the term for works which were then in their
first or second copyright term to be a total of 75 years. so anything
copyrighted after 1964 was still in its first copyright term and was
thus automatically extended.
Based upon my experience, I interpret the 1992 as a misprint or typo. My
recollection is that the automatic renewal was actually made part of US
copyright law in 1962, taking effect for music which renewed in 1964.
1962 makes much more sense.
