When a publisher goes out of business, the copyright of the works they published typically remains intact, as copyright is a legal right that does not automatically dissolve with the publisher's cessation of operations. The rights can be transferred to another entity, or they may revert to the original authors, depending on the agreements in place. If the copyright is not transferred, the works remain protected, but the enforcement and management of those rights may become more complicated. Authors may need to take action to reclaim their rights or find new means of publication.
