Copyrights are a very complicated matter in fact. The copyrights holder are usually the publisher or the writer himself. You could check about it on the first few pages of a book.
A copyright is hold until the authour dies or a publisher went brankcrupt. That's true. Even though after 70 years of the authous's death, a copyright can be extended too. The holder of a copyright book could not only be one but could be also a few.
Different countires holds different copyrights laws.

A book is copyrighted until the author dies and then another 70 years.
