Thread Name: copyright on manuscripts.
Subject: RE: copyright on manuscripts.
Q: However, the point Hernandez made was about the copyright of Marilyn Monroe's letters subsisting with her heirs. A Bach MS would not have the same effect as the heirs can only inherit that which the deceased possessed. Bach's copyright would have continued for 70 years after his death (these days) He could not pass to his heirs a copyright which exceeded that time period. Marilyn's writings would, of course, still be in copyright
