How old is it?
"Music for Airports" was from 1978

why? you thinking the performance rights might have expired or something?

Something along those lines although I have no real idea how these things work. 1978 puts it over 25 years though which rings a bell somewhere.

AFAIK, in Europe copyrights remain up until 99 years after first publication of your work...

Google hasn't helped me here....

How does one find out who owns the publishing and copyright rights on a given piece of music? It must be online somewhere?

I thought it was protected for a certain period after your death?

Mr. Blast calls - I'm here. :D

information about performing rights in the UK can be found here. Although as far as I'm aware of they do not offer the possibility for online research. the same thing in USA is called ascap and gema in Germany. Both with online search options.

And now have fun in detecting Mr. Eldritchs copyrights. ;D

P.S. copyright expires 70 years after the death of the owner. But you don't just need to clear the copyright, you need to buy the sync rights too.
