    Other Information

    The oldest compositions in the catalog were created in 1973. According to U.S. copyright law, the copyright was automatically renewed to last 95 years from the creation date.  That means that the copyrights for the tracks in this listing will be valid through at least 2068. 

    The five highest-earning songs are all subject to the 95-year length, and their copyrights will expire as follows:

    “Brick House”: Expires 2072

    “Machine Gun”: Expires 2068

    “I'm Ready”: Expires 2070

    "The Bump": Expires 2069

    "Too Hot to Trot": Expires 2072

    After the copyrights expire, the compositions will enter the public domain and will no longer be eligible to earn royalties.
