Newspapers may be incorporated themselves, or may have a parent company that holds all the copyright. Works of newspaper employees would be considered works made for hire, so for example a reporter's story would be controlled by the paper, not the reporter. Syndicated materials such as columns and comic strips would be controlled by the syndicate.

Newspapers and magazines are required to have a block of text referred to as "boilerplate" that lists their corporate structure ("a Conde Nast publication"), their executive board by name, and various other facts. Copyright information can generally be found in the boilerplate.

Duration of protection varies from country to country. All members of the World Trade Organization must protect works for a minimum of 50 years after the death of the creator, but some countries (such as the US) have extended this to life plus 70 years.

Copyright protection of the law is automatic. Some people use footnotes to remind others that the work is copyrighted or that copyrighted portions from other authors have been incorporated into the present work.

If someone uses a footnote to disclose copyright information then it becomes "copyright management information" and must be carried forward in each copy to avoid charges of fraudulent copying.

Example: If John Doe has a collective copyright on his album John Doe Sings the Blues and Track 2 on the album "Anonymous Blues" is licensed, all the other tracks on the album are licensed with "Anonymous Blues". Answer 2 Presumably you wrote them then the answer is - Yes. If you only recorded them and published said recording with permission, then you hold copyright in said recording only.

The internet makes it exponentially easier to infringe, and exponentially more difficult to stop.
