I think it is 70 years. A rightholder's right on audio/ video lasts for 70 years. After that, the right disappears and the contents become free. ARR's Bombay, Dil Se, Taal, etc. sound as fresh and soothing today as they were on the first day of release 10-12-15 years ago. I hope that 60 years later, our grandchildren would still love to hear them. -- Rawat
