Yes.

You've got the right site. http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ15a.pdf

Answer 2

They were originally valid until 50 years after the death of the copyright owner, I think it may have been moved out until 75 years, but what we're finding is that material produced in the early 1900s, even early cartoons and movies, people (families or corporations) still want to maintain the copyright, but these works are moving into the public domain (meaning, free for all to use).

Since corporations now own copyrights, they're trying to move this stuff into perpetuity, but as of yet, it's not done.

As an example, imagine when Elvis's copyrights expire and move to the public domain.

Answer 3

After 50 years I think. Musicians are trying to get it changed.

Answer 4

Copyrights had expiry dates extremely with recordings wherein it turns into public after an prolonged quantity of time by using utilization. subsequently, a recording made in 1922 is already public property and anyone can already use it for inner maximum purposes.
