Mandelstam Rights/Estate

[Anyse Joslin]

The basic law of copyright is now that an estate can hold all rights  
for only 50 years after the death of the original artist. After that,  
it is all in the public domain.

Dear Colleagues:

A contact is digitizing (for web-distribution) a recording of  
Mandelstam made in 1925, and asks me if I know what the status of the  
poet's estate is--is there an executor/foundation/entity that would  
hold the rights, or would this be public domain?

Cheers,

kp
