Not always. Czech Copyright Act of 2000 has switched the duration from 50 to 70 years pma, but it renewed the copyright on those works which had fallen into the public domain because of the previous law. The transitional provisions of the act read “[…] Where the term of duration of these rights has expired before the date on which this Act comes into effect, the term shall be renewed as from the date on which this Act comes into effect for the remaining period. […]” <http://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text.jsp?file_id=126153> Maybe more states opted for such a renewal. -- [[cs:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
