Pertaining to the copyright question

[Maouse]

regarding termination of copyrights before the duration of 28 years have
passed-

(6) In the case of a grant executed by a person or persons other than the
author, all rights under this title that were covered by the terminated
grant revert, upon the effective date of termination, to all of those
entitled to terminate the grant under clause (1) of this subsection (AH
only). In the case of a grant executed by one or more of the authors of the
work, all of a particular author's rights under this title that were
covered by the terminated grant revert, upon the effective date of
termination, to that author or, if that author is dead, to the persons
owning his or her termination interest under clause (2) of this subsection,
including those owners who did not join in signing the notice of
termination under clause (4) of this subsection. In all cases the reversion
of rights is subject to the following limitations:

(1) In the case of a grant executed by a person or persons other than the
author, termination of the grant may be effected by the surviving person or
persons who executed it. In the case of a grant executed by one or more of
the authors of the work, termination of the grant may be effected, to the
extent of a particular author's share in the ownership of the renewal
copyright, by the author who executed it or, if such author is dead, by the
person or persons who, under clause (2) of this subsection, own and are
entitled to exercise a total of more than one-half of that author's
termination interest(No One, well AH but where are they?).

So if I read all the legal mumbo jumbo correctly, unless the true author
had an agreement that rights would revert to him (a legal agreement!) he
does not get the rights back if a company goes caput.  Noone does, the
copyright is terminated and it is (I guess) public domain.  Since there was
no joint filing of copyright I cannot assume the original author had any
rights to it.  I would thus suppose P&P to be CURRENTLY NOT COPYRIGHTED.
And since the only ones that can file for it are the original author (which
again in this case is AH) I'm guessing it will remain public domain.

ENJOY!  (ps. I am not a legal eagle and may be wrong, but have tried to
post the most pertinant parts of what I have found for you all :)
