Other Information
A NOTE ABOUT COPYRIGHT LENGTH
The oldest compositions in the catalog were created in 1966. According to U.S. copyright law, the copyright was automatically renewed to last 95 years from the creation date. That means that the copyrights will be valid through at least 2061.
The original underlying compositions are subject to the 95-year length. However, the newer works derived from these compositions are not subject to this expiration. The highest earning tracks expire as follows:
"Life of the Party": Expires 70 years after the death of the last surviving author.
“Squeeze Me”: Expires 70 years after the death of the last surviving author.
“Baltimore Love Thing": Expires 70 years after the death of the last surviving author.
“You're the Best In the World": Expires 2071
"Deeper and Deeper": Expires 2065
"I Was the Life of the Party": Expires 2070
After the copyrights expire, the compositions will enter the public domain and will no longer be eligible to earn royalties.
