Duration of copyright The 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act states the duration of copyright as; For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last remaining author of the work dies. If the author is unknown, copyright will last for 70 years from end of the calendar year in which the work was created, although if it is made available to the public during that time, (by publication, authorised performance, broadcast, exhibition, etc.), then the duration will be 70 years from the end of the year that the work was first made available. Sound Recordings and broadcasts 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was created, or, if the work is released within that time: 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was first released. www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p01_uk_copyright_law

Of course, if Rick's finances were as parlous as portrayed even the royalties may have to be sold off, in which case that future source of revenue will be lost to his family. I find it a little hard to believe though.

@billybragg I think it's 50 years from the date of the recording and not 50 years from the artist's death. I seem to remember Sir Cliff campaigning to get this increased a while back as he was about to stop getting royalties from his earlier stuff. Used to be 70 years after death for composers & 50 years for recordings and you're right about Sir Cliff he did get it changed now to 70 years after recording Hey wow! I didn't hear. 2011. Quite right too!

I hope it won't. There's no good reason to do so.

Why do you think it might well be repealed post-Brexit?

Why do you think it might well be repealed post-Brexit? Well its an EU directive and not from British courts. And I thought this govt want to change everything that the EU has ordered. Its possible, is all I'm saying.

Its possible, is all I'm saying. The Government have said they intend bringing all existing EU laws into UK law. Obviously, any subsequent law changes are possible post-Brexit, but then again - any law changes are possible now. The only difference is whether it's changed by the EU or the UK. I just wondered whether it was a contentious issue that had been highlighted as a priority area for review post-Brexit.

Thanks I didn't know that. I was merely speculating. And I was also surprised that the website I use for copyright law didn't reflect this new ruling from 5 years ago.

I can't help thinking our law makers are going to be exceedingly busy for the foreseeable future & a lot of prioritising will need to be done.

I can't help thinking our law makers are going to be exceedingly busy for the foreseeable future & a lot of prioritising will need to be done. All EU laws are already UK laws, as they have to be adopted by each member country, or in the case of 'directives', interpreted into law. A regulation must be implemented in the form set out by the European Commission and usually cover more technical matters, such as competition rules or the price of foodstocks. However a directive gives more flexibility to member states. The Commission sets out the general framework of the draft law - such as uniform standards of food labelling - but it is up to the member state to decide how to implement the policy, usually within a two year time period. Every law that is to be changed will have to go through normal parliamentary bills and then approved by the House of Commons and the House of Lords. So yep, they'll potentially be busy (for a change?), but I bet a lot of people will be surprised at how little changes. Certainly in the short term, 5 years or so.

some names he could use Francis Rossi's Quo Francis Rossi and friends Margherita Quo time I don't even like Margarita pizzas - tasteless and no substance. Make your own pizza dough, roast the tomatoes with some good olive oil, fresh herbs and garlic and use a nice tangy cheese. You might change your mind
To answer the topic question. Whatever he should do or what anyone thinks otherwise, he won't. Its clear from his point of view that the band has a new lease of life with Richie in the fold.
The Quo many of us knew originally is now well and truly history.

So yep, they'll potentially be busy (for a change?), but I bet a lot of people will be surprised at how little changes. Certainly in the short term, 5 years or so. Yes, we know that EU law already applies in the UK, because the UK is in the EU. However, the Government have stated that The Great Repeal Bill will annul the 1972 European Communities Act, which gives EU law instant effect in the UK. To make the transition relatively smooth, although Parliament may make a few tweaks at this stage it is anticipated that the vast majority of EU legislation will be absorbed into UK law, post-Brexit. The majority of changes will happen as changes to legislation subsequently aimed at particular areas, e.g. employment rights, & so you're quite right that many things may change rather slowly, in some areas. In fact it's quite possible that some legislation, having originated as EU legislation, may still be in place as UK law decades, or even centuries, from now if there's no issue arising that leads to a change - probably long after there is no EU!

Apart from the reunions, it's been "history" for many for over 30 years.
