- icebraining 11y agoIt doesn't "overrule" it. NL copyright law applies to NL, not to the US.
- laurent123456 11y agoI think the origin of the book doesn't really matter. The copyright was owned by her father Otto Frank, who then transferred it to the Ann Frank foundation, which still owns the copyright and can enforce it worldwide.
- phicoh 11y agoThe idea is that the copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author. It's really sad that the Anne Frank Fonds, which now hold the rights, claims that the diary was (partially) written by her father, Otto Frank.
