But determining the copyright status of anything old is really much harder than it should be.
- ronjouch 5y agoThanks and thanks for the link; didn't know about this sub-case. Repeating a point of my original question, in case you have something to say about it: "112 gripes" was published in 1945, thus sites like https://www.biblio.com/blog/2010/07/how-to-determine-if-a-bo https://www.biblio.com/blog/2010/07/how-to-determine-if-a-bo... suggest it's expired . But also, it was republished in the US in 2004 (ISBN 1-4191-6512-7). Does this make it "freshly-re-copyrighted until 2004 + 70 years?", or is the year that counts for copyright the original publishing date? EDIT okay forget about the re-publish question, another HNer commented about it.
