Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Copyright of pictures from 1870
Incidentally, since I don't think anyone mentioned it, it's my understanding that you can't get UK publication rights if you first published it in the U.S., only U.S. publication rights. [1] So that is the best thing to look into regarding publication rights. I think the assumption of copyright lapse is a good one. Admittedly, the whole thing makes my head hurt! -- Harry (User:Jarry1250) [1] http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/2967/regulation/17/made "4) A work qualifies for publication right protection only if—(a)first publication is in the European Economic Area..."
