No, many countries apply the 'law of shorter term' (that is, works from other countries are under copyright only if they are under copyright (by time) in both countries, but the United States does not. However, if a work was already out of copyright in its homeland on January 1, 1996, it is free of copyright in the United States as well. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
