So does music copyright in the US still only extend to 50 years?

I remember the EU pushing it up to 70 years (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14882146), but if you search for Bob Dylan on Amazon there are loads of cheap knock-off versions of his 1963 debut album, with different artwork and stuff.
Is all the amazing music from 60s America now gonna get reissued in loads of different formats with different artwork and bonus tracks and shit, with none of the profits actually going to the artist?
I don't think I like this.
