A new version of my copyright duration chart, "Copyright Term and
the Public Domain in the United States,"
is now available at
<
http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm>.
The chart began as an expanded version of Lolly Gasaway's copyright
chart, but with the primary focus on unpublished works (though I included
published as well). In this new version, the section on unpublished
works has been updated to reflect copyright status as of 1 January
2004. A new section on the U.S. copyright status of works published
outside of the U.S. has also been added. In order to facilitate
printing, a PDF version of the file is available as well, and several new
alternative copyright charts are listed in footnote 1.
I welcome corrections or suggestions for improvements.
