Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 131

You are called by an author who is writing a book and he wants to know how long the copyright for his book will last after he has the book published?

Answer options

• A. 70 years
• B. the life of the author
• C. the life of the author plus 70 years
• D. copyrights last forever

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the author's lifetime. Option B is incomplete since it omits the additional 70 years, and Option D is incorrect as copyrights do not last indefinitely.
