At this time, in the US, copyright term is life of the author plus 70 years, assuming the work was published after 1977, or was created prior to that but unpublished.

In other countries the duration generally varies between 50 and 90 years after death of the author.

For sound recordings in the USA, published prior to 1972, copyright is only under state laws, which do not expire, but will be pre-empted by federal law in 2067.
