You realize the cave painting lawsuit article is satire right? Even modern copyright expires and since copyright is a concept based on the creation of a work pray tell how a work created before the legal concept of copyright existed could possible even enter the discussion.

"Featherstonehaugh added that the families would be seeking additional compensatory damages from the estate of Georgia O'Keeffe, whose paintings of deer skulls and antlers from the American Southwest were "clearly derivative, and were made entirely without permission," in the lawyer's words."

That...Is a joke. The whole article is a joke.
