Can a person's heirs copyright music after the death of the writer?
|
My grandmother, a song writer, recently died leaving sheet music and recordings of her songs. I found out she never had her songs copyrighted. Can my family copyright her material after her death?
She self recorded.
All Answers To QuestionsAnswer 1
If they were never copyrighted or published and they were not specifically inherited by someone...i imagine whoever inherited her estate can do whatever they wish with them. Answer 2
Nope. Whoever recorded them for her most likely owns them (the publishing rights).
If you have the dough consult an attorney. Answer 3
Anyone can copyright a work, it happens all the time. You know all of those poetry contest? First thing they do when you send it in is copyright the thing. Answer 4
If they were recorded after 1978, they are already copyrighted, and the copyright would form part of her estate. << GO BACK to questions
