How do I know when a song is in the public domain? Does the 70 year rule always apply? What about editions of public domain songs...such as in a song collection... can you use them for academic documents such as dissertations and thesis papers? How about songs originating outside of the USA? Where can I go to get straight answers? I have contacted some publishing houses and received no replies. Received on Mon Dec 10 2001 - 02:13:50 GMT
