Who owns the right to a book after the author dies?
I was just wondering because The Great Gatsby movie is coming out this winter and F. Scott Fitzgerald has been dead for over 70 years. Does a copyright expire after so many years?
admin answers:
It depends. It’ll either go to the heirs. For instance, the guy who wrote A Confederacy of Dunces killed himself before his book was published. After his death, his mother sent his manuscript off to some college professor who helped get it published with a small press and it took off from there. But the guy died without a will and didn’t specify who got the copyright to his works. Legally, the copyright was split between his mother and other family members that he wasn’t close to. Before she got it published, she got the other family members to sign over their copyright to the book since it was basically worth nothing at the time, and then she got it published and it took off, but his mother owns the copyright to Dunces. The guy also wrote other work that ended up getting published after Dunces, but those copyrights are owned by his mother and the other family members.
And then there are authors who specify who gets the copyright. Some might will it to specific family members. For instance, J D Salinger thought his son would be too irresponsible to handle the copyright to Catcher in the Rye so he willed the control of the copyright to his wife. He also left his daughter out of his will completely, so she has nothing to do with the copyright either.
And then there are some authors who setup an estate to control their copyrights and they appoint people to have control over that estate. It might be a lawyer(s) or it might be a family member, or it might be the author’s literary agency.
In the US, copyright expires 70 years after death. Some work is in the public domain. I know some of Fitzgerald work is in the public domain because I’ve downloaded it free online from legal sites. So, if it’s in the public domain then the copyright has expired (and there are cases were authors have intentionally put their work in the public domain, none high profile, though). If the copyright has expired then anyone can use it in anyway they want, which means movie studios can make a movie without the permission of the author’s estate. And any publisher can republish the book without paying royalties to the author’s estate.
Betty asks…
Do I have to download from iTunes to be able to watch a movie?
Or can I just download from alternative sites, methods, and put it on my iPhone like one can do with music?
admin answers:
You can download a movie from websites but if you don’t pay for it then it is illegal. Using iTunes is the best way because what you’re paying for comes with great quality and it’s legal. You also get to keep the movie and burn it onto a disc and watch it anywhere; if you don’t want to splash out a lot of cash on a movie you can also rent one for a lower price which is the best thing to do in my opinion.
Hope this helps.

What it the technical legal aspects of thepiratebay?
What is legal and illegal in things like uploading and downloading.
admin answers:
It is technically illegal to upload or download any material that is protected by a copyright.
This would include music MP3 files, movies and DVD images, books and PDF files and all types of copyrighted materials.
Read this blog post about thousands who were sued for downloading one movie via BitTorrent. Http://isp1.us/blog/23322-bittorrent-users-who-downloaded-the-expendables-sued/
The U.S. Copyright Act allows for damages of up to $150,000 per copyright infringement. People who get caught usually settle for much smaller amounts though.
Your Internet provider is required by law to keep detailed router logs of all of your Internet downloads and site requests. If a subpoena is granted the ISP must release this information to law enforcement.
As far as your chances of getting caught, they are fairly low However, the penalties are severe if you do.
Good Luck…
