When an artist creates an intellectual property, it will go out of copyright (unless renewed and there's a limit to that, I think) in a number of years. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Intellectual property can be copyrighted for the life of the composer plus 75 years. At least that is how it is for musical composers. And it really stinks. |
