Copyright generally expires 70 years after the death of the author for most works. For works with multiple authors, it lasts 70 years after the death of the last surviving author.

For works made for hire or anonymous/pseudonymous works, it typically lasts 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. These durations can vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to check local laws for specific details.
