Suppose a publishing company places an article in one of its magazines, and had the article copyrighted under the name of the corporation, rather than any individual author (article was copyrighted in 1992 in the US).
If this company became dissolved a few years later as the result of a bankrupty, are all active copyrights also dissolved? Or would the entitlement be transferred to one of the creditors as part of the liquidation process?
I want to use their article, but I can't exactly request written permission from a company that does not exist.
(And excuse my usage of business terms; they're probably incorrect ... I'm a physics student who's useless at anything related to money, the arts, pretty much anything involving creativity...)
