Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: [AMIA-L] Fwd: [archives] Updated copyright term chart is available

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So we can use any of these..

Created by a resident of Afghanistan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, San 
Marino, and possibly Yemen, and published in one of these countries13 Not 
protected by US copyright law because they are not party to international 
copyright agreements
Fixed prior to 1996  Works whose copyright was once owned or administered by 
the Alien Property Custodian, and whose copyright, if restored, would as of 1 
January 1996 be owned by a government14 Not protected by US copyright law

So "Lili Marlene" and "You Can't Be True Dear" aren't copyrighted in the US (at 
least, not with their original lyrics).
