Why do you say a movie made in the USSR is not copyrightable?
- nucleardog 14y agoTake a look at the state of copyright law in the USSR circa 1961 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Soviet_Union#1961_Fundamentals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Soviet_Uni...). Essentially, once something was published, it was pretty near free game. 103(4) grants: > The permission to use scientific, artistic, literary, or oral works (speeches) in film, radio, and on television, provided the original work existed already in a form amenable to such use.
