When you purchase a painting, you own the physical artwork but not necessarily the copyright. The artist typically retains the copyright unless they transfer it to you in writing.

Is it illegal to use images of famous paintings from another persons website and post them on your own to sale and if the copyright says c2002 or c1993 is it still in effect today?

The copyright date on something is when it was CREATED or first published, and the copyright lasts for about a hundred years after the author's death, so YES, anything with valid copyright date of 2002 or 1993 are till in effect. On the other hand, it is a good question whether a famous painting still has its own copyright and whether a photograph or digitization of that famous painting may have its OWN copyright dates, as derivative works of the original.

How many years after the writer of the Trololo song dies will it take to copyright the song as yours?

If you are not the composer of the song then you can NEVER take the copyright as yours; you would have to purchase it from the copyright owners. Also, when the copyright expires, 50 or more years after the author's death (or after publication, depending upon circumstances and national laws) it is no longer copyrighted at all and nobody can possibly own the copyright.


Can you claim copyright on reproduced Soviet Military produced posters?

No you cannot "claim" copyright unless you are the original artist/author. Just because you "found" a copy of something does not mean you own the copyright for it. The only way to obtain copyright is to create it yourself, hire someone to create it for you, inherit it, or purchase the rights from the legal owner.
