I was just vreading about the copyright recovery of the Superman creator's family – which mentioned a 1976 laew that has provisions for someone (or heirs) to recover a copyright in some situations. I am trying to find a reference on this as I have been involed with trying to help the family of a WW2 personage recover the rights to a book which his wife sold off for next to nothing years ago and is is sitting idle as the publishers try and hold it for ransome. Anyone know about this? |
