Those Old Study Guides

Len: I believe that they MUST APPLY to have that copyright lengthened, it does not automatically occur (and, on or before a certain day the work will expire copyright)--you'd be surprised how many works still fail that. Although, some publishing houses are set up to "automatically apply", even though they had no interest in the work they end up gaining possession of the copyright! Individuals/corps make a living though such "questionable practices." Regards, JS Under the current laws there is no renewal. The max copyright length applies automatically. The renewal requirement was dropped a long time ago. Anything that fell out of copyright (i.e. was not renewed) before that change occurred went into the public domain and stayed there (there are a few exceptions but it gets too complicated). Those that were still under copyright at the time of the change had their copyrights automatically extended to the max length. Dee, N8UZE |
