Hi all,
According to the FAQ in the Federal Copyright pages, here is the
following info.
How Long Does Copyright Protection Last?
How long does a copyright last?
The term of copyright for a particular work depends on several factors,
including whether it has been published, and, if so, the date of first
publication. As a general rule, for works created after January 1,
1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an
additional 70 years. For an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a
work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from
the year of its first publication or a term of 120 years from the year
of its creation, whichever expires first. For works first published
prior to 1978, the term will vary depending on several factors. To
determine the length of copyright protection for a particular work,
consult chapter 3 of the Copyright Act (title 17 of the United States
Code). More information on the term of copyright can be found in
Circular 15a , Duration of Copyright, and Circular 1 , Copyright Basics.
HTH,
Ann P.
