Who exactly gets to own the work of millions of long-dead authors?

The ownership lawsuits alone, for millions and millions of works, will be an epic, chaotic nightmare to behold. What if the author has no heirs, or nobody wants to claim ownership of their work? It can't be in the public domain ... it can't be owned ... so what limbo does it waft around in, rattling its chains for all eternity?

And, most importantly:

Is it possible to get a fatal illness from repeatedly rolling your eyes? Because if it is, this Court will most certainly be burying millions.
