Are you worrying that it might be necessary to contact all the copyright holders in order to sue? I'd be surprised if the law had such a giant hole in it. A book could be written by two people, one of whom dies and whose heir cannot be located? Would that mean the book is then effectively in the public domain and the other author cannot sue people who reprint it without permission? I doubt it. I would obtain positive confirmation that the law of some relevant country has this loophole before looking for elaborate ways of preventing people from exploiting it. Edmund
