Ah, cool, that solves that problem. Do the pseudonyms need to be registered or is it enough simply to use it?
IANAL. They're valid if you are clearly the user of the name. We know "pjrm" to be who he is, so that "alias" would stand up, AFAIK.
Yes, although there are some differences when copyrighting a work under your legal name versus under a pseudonym.
The primary wrinkle with pseudonyms is that the length of the copyright term for them a straight 95 years (as it is for corporate entities), rather than the normal 70 years after death for individuals.
