The question is rather vague... Ann Landers was employed by a newspaper, which would normally own the copyright in her column. This would cover her written answers and the selection of questions from readers. (In other words, it would be a copyright violation for someone else to take the questions from Ann Landers' columns and publish them with new answers.)

A copyright notice tells the world that you claim protection under United States copyright laws for something that you have created. Later, if you sue someone for copying your work without your permission, this notice prevents them from arguing that what they did was an innocent mistake. The fact that you provided a copyright notice carries other advantages that may be important if your copyright becomes the subject of a lawsuit. For example, certain types of damages (monetary awards) are only available if you provided a copyright notice. These advantages are valuable, and the copyright notice is simple to create. Therefore, it is wise to create a notice and attach it to your work.
Under older United States laws, copyright notice was required before an author could claim protection of a work that was distributed to the public. However, the United States has changed its laws in an effort to become more uniform with international practices. Because the United States is a tremendous source of copyrightable material and a great exporter of movies, music, software, books, and other works that can be copyrighted, Congress believed that it was in the United States' best interest to conform to international copyright standards. Therefore, copyright notice is not required, and your original work receives copyright protection the instant that you express your original idea in some sort of medium (writing on paper, saving to an electronic storage device, or molding your lump of clay). However, because certain advantages only exist when you provide a notice, it is still wise to include a copyright notice.
The copyright laws protect that part of an author's work that is original. This means the part that reflects the creative effort of the author. For example, If you were to paint a picture of a room with the Mona Lisa hanging upside-down from the light socket, you would not have copyright protection in the Mona Lisa. Other people could still create their own rendition of the Mona Lisa without violating your rights. However, you could have copyright protection in the part of your painting that you created. This could include specific details in your painting as well as the broadly conceived arrangement of the room with the upside down Mona Lisa hanging from a light socket. If this explanation is unsatisfying, do not despair. Copyright law contains many tests and standards that are broadly defined and that do not provide authors with easy-to-follow, "bright-line" rules. However, if your work contains, in whole or in part, original material or an original arrangement of material, you may be entitled to copyright protection.

A copyright is considered a form of property in ideas. A copyright is also known as an area of law within the field of Intellectual Property. Essentially, a copyright is a grant of property rights that protects original works by authors which are fixed in a tangible medium of expression.
It is important to understand patents, copyrights, and trademarks as the granting of certain property rights. The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is responsible for granting copyrights and gets its authority from Title 17 of the U.S. Code.
There are many types of works that are protected by copyrights. It is essential to know that a work must be a tangible medium of expression in order to be considered a copyright. The works protected by copyrights are as follows: literary works, dramatic works, musical works, choreographic works, graphic works, sculpture works, motion pictures, sound recordings, and architectural works. For further information on the works protected by copyrights, one can simply look within the United States Code Annotated. Under 17 U.S.C.A.C2A7 102(a) (2002), one can find exactly which works are protected by copyrights. It is important to note that certain things are not covered under the protection of copyrights. These are ideas, processes, procedures, principles, and discoveries. The works not covered by copyright protection can be found in 17 U.S.C.A.C2A7 102(b).
There are five fundamental rights which copyrights also protect. These are reproduction, adaptation, publication, performance, and display. These rights are essentially what constitute a copyright. There are also conflicting rights within copyright law, such as the right to fair use for scholarship, research, and news reporting.
There are certain term limits of copyrights. For an author, a copyright will exist for a term of the life of the author and 70 years after the author's death. This law is found in 17 U.S.C.A.C2A7 302(a). For works which involve more than one author, a copyright will last until the final surviving author dies and then 70 years after. For anonymous authors, a copyright for a work will last 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever expires first.
If a person wants a work to be granted copyright protection, then he or she must make sure that the work meets two fundamental criteria. These two criteria are that the work is an original work of authorship and is within a fixed, tangible medium of expression.

For all their massive talent and creativity, many modern content creators find themselves at a loss. Because a lot of the individuals who write blogs, e-books or post online photos are totally independent, they have a lot of trouble figuring out the copyright rules that exist to help them protect their work.
Copyright law is designed to help publishers and authors ensure that others do not take their work and pass it off as their own. Naturally, there are extreme complexities that make turning the rules to your advantage pretty difficult. Fortunately, the twists and turns of modern copyright policy provide creators with quite a lot of leeway. These tips should help you master the convolutions of the code.
Learning the RopesThough many people simply add a copyright symbol to their blog, this does not suffice. Anyone can still steal your work. The only way you'll be able to obtain compensation is if you can unequivocally prove that you created it first, even if this proof doesn't come to light until you get to court.
Most judges, courts, juries and attorneys agree that having your info registered with the US Copyright Office is ironclad proof. Even more promising, you don't have to copyright your work right away. As long as you register a copy of your work within six months of publishing it online, your copyright will be valid.
There are plenty of ways to register your information with the copyright office. You can send hard copies of all your content by printing it out and mailing it in; this method is perfect for content like stories, blogs, music records or books. On the other hand, rich content like images, program code samples or other files are better registered via email. You can visit the Copyright Office website to create an account that lets you simply send in your information, and furthermore, this option is much cheaper. The fees for digital submission are much lower than those for hard copy submission.
Remember that copyright registration isn't the end-all of content protection. It's just the key to seeing justice served on your behalf. If you create a lot of content, you need to keep an eye out for people stealing your work, and remember to re-register your copyrights when you publish new blogs or other content.

Singapore copyright law is structured very closely to UK & Australian statutes. Protection exists automatically at the moment a qualified work is "fixed". The terms of protection are similar (Life of author + 70 years or if published after death 70 years after publication) as well as what is protected (literary, dramatic or musical work, sound recording, etc)

No, US copyrights are currently valid for 95 years from date of creation by a company employee (or other works made for hire) or for 70 years after the death of an individual author. Prior to 1978, copyrights were granted for 95 years from date of publication, provided there was an adequate notice of copyright. If published prior to 1963, a renewal registration was required at 28 years. Prior to 1923, copyright was for 14 years with a renewal possible for another 14 years.
At no point was US copyright granted for 25 years.

There is no copyright on streaming audio over the internet.
Or rather...
The technology used (software/hardware) for the actual streaming may be copyrighted, but some is most probably still free to use.
Audio is anything audible. If it can be heard, then it is Audio.
If you plan on streaming music, then you might be doing something illegal by streaming it over the internet. Most music has got copyrights attached, and so you need the consent of the copyrightholders to do so.

For personal use (taking notes, reading while traveling, etc) yes you can make copies. If you are planning to distribute those copies to people who do not own the original book you would have to be able to justify the distribution as "fair use" or you could be guilty of copyright infringement.
The four primary factors you need to consider to qualify a "fair use" are...
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
