Are copyright laws federal or state

The U.S. Copyright Act, (codified at 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 - 810), is federal legislation which protects the writings of authors.

Can states extend copyrights?

Specifically, states are not allowed to enact legislation that extends the copyrights provided by the U.S. government.
For example, if New Jersey wanted to pass a law to extend the term of copyrights from the creator's lifetime plus 70 years to the creator's lifetime plus 100 years, they could not legally do so.
