Reason #7 to ignore copyright
Did you know that even if a work is anonymous, the author does not want to take credit, it is still copyrighted? How do you obtain permission to use an anonymous work?
From the official copyright website:
"How long does a copyright last?"
"... For an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first."
