If youâre going to go forward with a pool, youâre going to want a nice look to go with it, not to mention all the additional ongoing costs once itâs in, like an increase in homeownerâs insurance, a tax increase, maintenance expenses like opening/closing the pool, heating it if applicable, etc.
The term of copyright for a particular work depends on several factors, including whether it has been published, and, if so, the date of first publication. As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years.
A book published by a US author in the US, with copyright notice and renewal after 1922 and before 1978 would be copyrighted for 95 years. After that it would most likely be 95 years unless the author was independent (not employed as an author), in which case it would last 70 years after the year of the author's death.
