Overview: In addition to a detailed examination of the law of copyright duration, this study will also offer guiding principles for relatively succinct application of the rules of law to many of the most common situations. Second, this study examines only copyright law. Moreover, it examines only the rules of duration of copyright protection. Future studies will expand on this work by analyzing other aspects of copyright. Future studies may also examine other potentially relevant laws, such as the right of publicity, trademark, communication, and state-law protection for some unpublished materials and for early sound recordings.
