Since he died in 1930, my understanding is that copyright on his works ran out in 2000. I guess this is true throughout the EU, not just in the UK. There is the addition complication of typographical copyright, but that only lasts for 25 years. I would be very surprised if US copyright law was stricter than this, but perhaps someone in the States could enlighten us.[[User:Jamesgibb|Jamesgibb]] 10:23, 10 October 2011 (CDT)

Bethlehem Down

I'm about to do an edition of this piece, and am not quite sure why it is not in the Public Domain/copyright protected in the USA... It's certainly PD here in the UK, so I don't see why I shouldn't make it available here on CPDL (as the site is used by people other than Americans...). Any thoughts? If not, I'll post it shortly.
