Copyright with no designated author
Posted: September 30th, 2021, 5:57 am
I have previously worked on a solo: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=88318
This is part of a series (14 volumes) - and there is no designated author, nor does the named editor-in-chief stay the same between all volumes - sometimes they are also called "Department Editors".
It seems chapters are written by different people - but they don't make it obvious who has written which - they seem to have gone to lengths to not credit authors.
Is it safe to say that - with each volume being produced by the "National Society of Music" - which seems to now be defunct - that the copyright was held with the society itself, rather than an individual? It's very textbooky.
This is what I assumed with my solo.
I'm looking at volume 2 now:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/65865
Am I safe to assume it's okay for non-US contributors, as before?
I know there was a warning for the editor-in-chief PD DOD on the solo - but he didn't actually contribute any of the text - it seems irrelevant in this case to look at the editor for PD status
