I was just wondering if you received my upload (and post) of 26 October.
Or, as a newbie, have I done something wrong? :?
Thanks,
Nesli
I was mid-move and not on top of things for a few days. Apologies.

Hello!
I wanted to see if this recording finds your approval:
Author: John Leighton (1822-1912)
Title: The Royal Picture Alphabet
URL to text: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/23619/23619-h/23619-h.htm
Audio recording ready for PL'ing: https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/ss083_theroyalpicturealaphabet_cjph_128kb.mp3
Time: 06:24
Q. Why does it say "The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Royal Picture Alphabet, by Luke Limner" when the author is John Leighton?
Kind regards,
Chad

Thank you.
I don't know the answer to your question... it could be an error at PG -- you could ask over there if you're bothered by it.

Kind regards,

Hello!
Here is another recording:
Author: M. D. Hillyard
Title: Disappearing
URL to text: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/60475/60475-h/60475-h.htm#Page_9
Audio recording ready for PL'ing: https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/ss083_disappearing_cjph_128kb.mp3

Questions:
1) I am not sure about the copyright status of this work either, the birth and death of this author is unknown?
2) If you are unsatisfied with just recording one chapter of this work, would you like to add my chapters?
Kind regards,
Chad

If you are unable to determine copyright status, you should use “due diligence”. In all probability, all that would happen would be that Archive.com would remove the project (and is that really fair to all the other people working on a project?). However, in some cases, the punishment is greater... for example, I have been told by another admin that in Germany, you are immediately thrown in gaol and have to prove it was an honest error.

For The Baby Farmer, we have no way of knowing when the author died. The work was published in the 1890s, so is definitely PD in the US.

Recording single or even multiple chapters from books is not appropriate for this collection. These need to be short stories. Many authors have written short stories, in anthologies, multi-author works or for magazines. Please restrict yourself to these.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if this work was collected by P. H Emerson (13 May 1856-12 May 1936), then surely the copyright status would be okay in the UK?

Also: If you scroll down to the bottom to NOTES, says:
(3) OLD GWILYM.
This story came from an old Welshman who says he knew Gwilym, and heard the story from his lips. The narrator may be relied upon.
(4) THE BABY-FARMER.
Same source.

Is this reassuring that the copyright status of this work is more likely to be okay in the UK?

Kind regards,
Chad

Also: Just to be safe, is there any way I could find out the birth and death of A. Campell: Free Church of Scotland Santal Mission,
Santal Mission Press, Pokhuria. Should I make contact with this company to find out?

Kind regards,
Chad

This is why we all hate copyright laws and no one at LV is an expert, and we don’t have the funds to check. If there is any doubt, don’t record it. If you are sure the AUTHOR DIED more than 70 years ago, it is PD I the UK, although even then, there are some authors that we can’t record due to legal challenges.

Alexander Campbell’s dates are 1822-1892. He is already in the catalog.

Based on what you have said, I am going to ask The Baby Farmer to be removed.

Alexander Campbells dates are 1822-1892, which would mean that the copyright status of his work would seem to be okay in the UK, am I right?

Again, I am sorry for this mix up, I'll find another work to replace The Baby Farmer.

Kind regards,
Chad
