Best Answer

"Stairway to Paradise" was published in 1922 by New World Music Corporation, w. B.G. De Sylva and Ira Gershwn, m. George Gershwin. U.S. Copyright law provided for 75 years copyright protection for all works published in 1922 or earlier, therefore it entered the public domain in the USA on Jan 1, 1997. For most of the rest of the world, copyright protection is provided for 70 years after the death of the last surviving author. George Gershwin 1898-1937, Ira Gershwin 1896-1983, B.G. DeSylva 1895-1950. Since Buddy DeSylva died in 1950, the work will not enter the public domain internationally until Jan 1, 2020, A copy of the sheet music can be found in UCLAs archive of Popular American Music, http://digital.library.ucla.edu/apam/ or a PD Sheet Music Reprint can be ordered from the Public Domain Information Project, www.pdinfo.com
