What happens to copyrighted materials owned by a business when the business is no longer around, and did not make specific legal arrangements for their intellectual property? This could be any kind of business--a publisher who held copyright, a computer game maker or a cake-decorating business with unique cake designs. What happens to the books, games, and cake-pictures? They are all still under copyright for a long time, but there is no one to authorize their use.
