How can you tell if the copyright of a book has expired?
You would need to know when and where it was first published, by whom, what nationality, his or her nation of domicile, and whether the publication adhered to the necessary formalities at the time of publication (e.g., copyright notice, registration, renewal), if any. For example, books published in the USA by a US author prior to 1923 is public domain, the copyright having expired no later than 1978. A book published by a US author in the US, with copyright notice and renewal after 1922 and before 1978 would be copyrighted for 95 years. After that it would most likely be 95 years unless the author was independent (not employed as an author), in which case it would last 70 years after the year of the author's death.
