  I changed back the title to "Movie copyright duration" to makes everyone 
happy, and because It is clearer.

   It doesn't matter in the particular case of a movie or a photography. 
If I believe this law, the copyright is basically valid in Canada for at 
most 51 years after the publication, not the death of the author.


   Also interesting is the fact that a movie will automatically be 
considered published after 50 years, so someone realizing he inherited a 
92 years old unpublished movie could protect It for at most 8 more years.
