Photograph of "The Scream" and a junior scream at MOMA, one of our Strategic Research Partners. In the United States, this photograph is under copyright, while the painting in the background is not, because the work was published before 1923. In most countries of the world, this work is also now out of copyright, since Munch died in 1944. Our system can assist in determining the status in the United States and around the world of both the masterpiece and the derivative work with the junior scream. How to figure out the status of a work can run from very easy to super complicated. The Durationator Copyright System is built to handle all queries.
For universities, librarians, archivists, and museums

Specialized Library, Museum, and Archive Annual Packages
These packages are designed for the specialized concerns of the library, archive, and museum community, such as digitizing, patron and faculty requests for materials, and evaluating the copyright status of classroom materials. Put together your own combination of packages to meet the needs of your institution. The Enterprise package is for institutions that want to do everything, including working directly in the Durationator system.
Shareable Data
Pricing for these packages reflects the idea of shareable data. All reports and searches performed under these plans become data for a future "rights registry," which will give free public access to previous searches (and which may include a reference to the institution that performed the original search). If your search data must remain proprietary, try one of our general products.
