Here is one page on the net, from a university, if you research it, you will
find this page seems accurate. The library of congress page contains info to this also... http://www.unc.edu/~unclng/public-d.htm Indeed, the examples of non-copyrighted works is not complete, there are other ways a book is/remains un-copyright-ed. I think I did see Moby Dick as one ebook freely available on the net, and yes, I believe the copyright has expired on that book... Regards, John -- I would like to point out, I do appreciate the "Been there--done that!" posts. Indeed, now your observations, comments and discourse should be filled with wisdom--I am listening!!! "Hal Rosser" wrote in message . .. "John Smith" wrote in message ... To all: It is my understanding that all gov't materials, since paid for by taxpayers, are non-copyright. Also, any material before 1923 would have expired copyrights and, undoubtably, a significant amount of material will have been published "public domain"; So, you're saying that anyone could republish a book like "Moby Dick" and sell it as their own since it was published before 1923 ? I'm no lawyer, but I believe copyright live on. Patents expire. If you're just wanting to build an antenna that someone else thought of first then you just 'do it' - just be careful about patent infringements if you try to sell those antennas. |
