| Information about this edition |
- Letters from the Earth was posthumously published in 1962 whose author Mark Twain died in 1910. It will remain copyrighted in Canada through 2012.--Jusjih 02:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure: how many years are these works (in fact: editio princeps) protected? I thought 25 years after the publishing - ? -jkb- 05:48, 12 May 2010 (UTC) - - - Just a moment, it is not the edition princeps. Sorry. -jkb- 06:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC) - - - It's a bit complicated. The Canadian law seems to be quite different from the "editio princeps" law in European Union (see en.wp:Publication right). -jkb- 06:16, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- That was posthumously published in 1962 in the USA with copyright renewed there, so it will remain copyrighted in the USA through 2057, thus Canadian law applies here with no rule of the shorter term applicable. The Canadian posthumous copyright is very different from the European Union. Help:Public domain suggests that pre-1997 posthumous works are copyrighted for 50 years since publication til year end. Then 1962+50= 2012. If no permission in Canada, just wait for about 31 months then this work can be hosted here again.
