BUT what are we actually being told, beyond the facts of when the author died, and when copyright expires.Volunteers outside the USA: (the author) died in 1958. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Are you saying that if I am in Europe I can not participate in the reading project (as the copyright does not expire until 2028)?
Can I even listen to the book in Europe yet?
thanks
