so basically, someone who would produce a replication of a no longer copyrigther work before prescription time would reroll the hourglass for another 75 years ? that is strange and sick. SO as long as you re-release something every 3/4 of century, it is untouchable :) or will they extend again the time period for the sake of disney ? :) as arule of thumb, do what i do, only use "free of rights" (means free of fights too, apsus) material. There are some websites dedicated into opengl/public domain/legally usable material.. Just stick to it or you have to do all your stuff from scratch question: when you take a picture of a female model, she sure should be copyrigthed to her parents, ney ? :)
