Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copyrights are granted for the lifetime of the author, plus 70 years (assuming that the work was not created anonymously).
Key Takeaway: The copyright does not end when the author dies and cannot be deeded to heirs. Option D alludes to copyrights for anonymous works and works that were created under work-for-hire agreements that enter the public domain 95 years after the first year of publication or 120 years after the year in which it was created, whichever comes first.
