Re: [ARSCLIST] Carnegie Hall 1957, was 78's and PD, was Curatorial Responsibility, formerly Copyright of treasures

I'm not certain of this, but I have heard that the Library of Congress, 
being a governmental agency, has more latitude when it comes to publishing 
and making accessible to the public materials like this - "treasures" that 
may be orphan works, or otherwise outside the standard contract-based 
copyright world. Am I wrong? If I am right, maybe the LOC should be the 
proper venue to publish such treasures that would create legal difficulties 
for other private organizations or individuals.
