Both are forms of unlicensed copying, but it's possible to have one without the other.

It depends upon the copyright laws by which the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz' is governed. According to the old copyright laws, the copyright could be extended twice, at 28 years each. In this case, the copyright would have run out in 1995. According to the new copyright laws, the film could be protected by copyright for 75 years. If that's the selected copyright provision, then the film is protected until 2014.
