Detailed explanation-1: -In India, copyright generally lasts for sixty years after the death of the author or sixty years after the publication of the work, depending on the nature of the content. As a result, when the term expires, the content is released into the public domain.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the term of protection of copyright? The general rule is that copyright lasts for 60 years. In the case of original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works the 60-year period is counted from the year following the death of the author.
Detailed explanation-3: -The oldest work protected by copyright would have to be an early unpublished work that was first published after 1922. The work whose copyright will last the longest would have to have been published before 1978, which would then give the work a theoretical 95 year term from first publication.
