Also known as the Sunny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, under the CTEA most copyrights now run from creation until 70 years after the author's death. Retaining the general structure of the 1976 Copyright Act, the Copyright Term Extension Act enlarges the terms of all existing and future copyrights by 20 years. Paralleling the 1976 Copyright Act, the Copyright Term Extension Act applies the new terms to all works not published by January 1, 1978. For works published before 1978 with existing copyrights as of the CTEA's effective date, the CTEA extends the term to 95 years from publication. The Supreme Court recently upheld the constitutionality of the Act. |
