Believe me, copyright in a book exists for seventy years after the death


of

the author (in Britain and the E.U.). I've had dealings with enough


estates

to be absolutely dead certain of this fact :-)


How about a non-fiction book?



The same goes for non-fiction as for fiction: seventy years after the death
of the author. If you create something - stories, novels, music, articles,
reference books, paintings, cartoons, whatever - copyright in the U.K. and
E.U. is death plus seventy.

Well, 25 years did seem kind of hard to believe.
