Other Information
Please note: The oldest and highest-earning composition in the catalog, “Today I Met,” was created in 1962. According to U.S. copyright law, the copyright was automatically renewed to last 95 years from the creation date. That means that the copyright for “Today I Met” will be valid through 2057 (the remaining compositions’ copyrights will expire between 2057 and 2062). After the copyrights expire, the compositions will enter the public domain and will no longer be eligible to earn royalties.
