All Answers To Questions

Answer 1

yes it is still active.

Answer 2

As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years

Answer 3

I don't know about names, but all other materials created for the advancement of human kind is copyrighted up to 100 years after the patener dies though. I don't think you'd have to worry about band names though. Just think of all the poor teen garage band kids who'd be sued because of such a weird thing. *shakes head* anyways, I probably didn't help, but that's the answer I can give you. See ya around.
