Copyright
How long does copyright last?
In a literary or artistic work, other than a photograph copyright endures for the lifetime of the author and 50 years after the author's death or 50 years after the posthumous first publication of his/her work. In a film, photograph or a computer program copyright endures fifty years from the end of the year in which the work is made available to the public or after the work is first published, whichever is the longer period.The publishers also has copyright in respect of the published edition (i.e. the edited typeface used) even if the original material is no longer subject to copyright e.g. A new edition of a Shakespeare play.
