How long does copyright protection last in Hong Kong?

The length of time that a copyright protects a work depends on the type of work. If it is literary, musical, artistic or dramatic, the work is protected for 50 years after the death of the author. Films are protected by copyright for 50 years after the death of the last main director or screenplay author. Sound recordings are protected for 50 years after they are first made.
