Woody asked:


Copyright covers an artists work during there life + 70yrs until after they are deceased. If the artist is inbetween living and deceased for more than 70 yrs how does one get copyright permission (especially assuming that family are hard to locate).

Any thoughts on requirements/means to get approval?
