Is infringing copyright a criminal or civil offence Can a person claim ignorence of the fact on copyright Is the publisher equally at fault or just the author Is an award due to the copyright owner?
Copyright infringement is primarily a civil offense however there are options to prosecute criminally in the case of "willful and deliberate" acts of infringement. Ignorance of the existence of copyright is not a viable defense to infringement. If an author is convicted of copyright infringement the publisher can be held liable for contributory infringement if it can be shown that they had knowledge of the infringement prior to publication. If, by a preponderance of the evidence, infringement can be shown then yes a damages award to the copyright holder can be granted.
What is the length of time someone owns his or her copyright?
In Great Britain copyright in literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works expires 70 years after the death of the author. Where the work has more than one author, the copyright expires 70 years after the death of the last surviving author. The publisher's copyright for the typographical arrangement of a published work is 25 years from the end of the year in which that publication occurred. This protects a publisher's copyright in all types printed works including books, magazines, newspapers, and any other periodicals. this is commonly applied to recordings and video as well.

You want to know if an author gives a book to a publisher on royaltywhether the author has sold his copyright and for how long will the copyright end?
The author of a dramatic or musical composition remains the author of record and original copyright owner, but he may choose to license his work to a publisher whose job it is to exploit the work to the author's benefit. The publisher may ask for as much as 50% of future proceeds plus reasonable marketing costs associated with the project. If the work is transient in nature (like a commercial jingle), the writer may sign his rights away completely as in a 'work for hire' arrangement, and the publisher may remove the writer's name from the work completely and forever. Selling a work outright is no longer possible for the vast majority of copyrightable works. As the writer, you may choose to give your work away in a creative commons license or not, but your name will forever be attached if you bother to register your work in either case. The work may become public domain 90 years after the DEATH of the original writer, or if after a reasonable effort, the original writers identity cannot be ascertained. This term is usually extended each time the copyright of the Hill Sisters' famous song, "Happy Birthday" comes up for renewal!
