That is not a *loss* of copyright; that is most likely a
case of *infringement*. I will refer you to section 501
of Chapter 5 of Title 17 of the US Code for the details.
Chapter 2 does not apply, obviously, if the code was
transferred without explicit permission of the owner
(which is not necessarily the same as the creator;
see sections 204 and 205).
