- at the end of the period of fifty years from the end of the calendar year in which the recording is made, or
- if during that period the recording is published, fifty years from the end of the calendar year in which it is first published, or
- if during that period the recording is not published but is made available to the public by being played in public or communicated to the public, fifty years from the end of the calendar year in which it is first so made available.

Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
