Thread Name: When does copyright expire?
Subject: When does copyright expire?
Today there was an excellent article by Michael Geist published on BBC's website on the topic of international differences in copyright law. The article dealt specifically with the publishing of 'public domain' sheet music to the web... legal in one country but an infringement in another.

It's worthwhile reading! 'Shows just how complex this issue is.
