[WikiEN-l] Re: Possible exception to "1923 is OK" rule

From: Ray Saintonge <saintonge(a)telus.net> Thanks for reminding me of that link. When I was at the Boston meetup, I mentioned to JamesDay that the UPenn site had a reference to a very obscure possible exception to the 1923 rule, and that was it, or more specifically http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/c-fineprint.html It says that _possibly_ a work published within the juridiction of the Ninth Circuit Court _might_ still be under copyright if a) The work was first published on or after July 1, 1909 _and_ b) The work was never published prior to 1923 with a copyright notice recognized by the US _and_ c) The work was never published prior to 1923 in the United States and maybe also d) the work had to be in a language other than English. Just in case anyone thought there were _any_ simple rules about copyright law. -- Daniel P. B. Smith, dpbsmith(a)verizon.net "Elinor Goulding Smith's Great Big Messy Book" is now back in print!
