How do you know that the publications aren't also going to be distributed in France. At that point, their law kicks in for the copies distributed within their borders.

Two recent questions about term of protection have been raised on this list: re unpublished letters in the UK, and French works from 1900 and 1950 - presumably published in those years. In both cases use of these works was to lead to publication in the United States. Surely the real question then is what does the US Act have to say about such works - not the UK or french laws.
