        Copyright law is complicated, is constantly changing, and varies by
country. The U.S. law was changed a few years ago and now provides 95-year
coverage from first publication. The cutoff date is, I believe, 1923; that
is, everything published before 1923 is now in the public domain.
        There are two excellent websites that deal with copyright
questions.
        The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress:
