I don't really know many general gaming sites so I thought I ask here. I am trying to figure out who currently owns the copyright to the game Behind Enemy Lines, it was first printed by FASA in the early 1980's, then The Companions in the mid 1980's, both those companies are out of buisness. I know that the rights often revert to the author but he passed on a few years back. I was just going to put a spot for the game on my website and wanted to follow common courtesy and put the official blurb and email to the owners. I guess I'll just have to put it out there and see if anyone complains. BTW how long is a copyright usually good for anyway?

Copyright: Lifetime of the Author + 50 years, or 70 years total in case of Work for Hire.
