Dear Adam & Rob & David & Miles

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki,

 

Under the main international copyright

treaty, the minimum duration of a

copyright is the author's lifetime plus

50 years.

 

But that applies to new books; in the

case of old books, an old law or old

treat may apply. In the U.S., anything

published before 1923 has no legal

protection. I don't know the analogous

date for other countries. Each country

makes its own copyright laws.

 

> or any other kind of information on

> copyright I would be glad to know ;

 

You're allowed to quote pieces of

something without permission. For

example, you could put a few paragraphs

from David's book into a message here.

 

But for longer copies, like files, you

need permission.

 

The safest thing to do is always ask

permission before you publish (post)

a copy.

 

Everything is copyrighted even if it

doesn't say "copyright".

 

Regards,

 

Rob

Dear Vicki,

 

Thank you for all your wonderful work. I am sure it has not been in vain.

 

Ever Yours in Sri Bhagavan,

Miles

Hi Vicki,

 

Thinking about all this...

 

Sri Ramanasramam publishes many books about

Bhagavan, but only four have been put into

electronic form.

 

I wonder if Sri Ramanasramam would like help

from volunteers to type (or scan) some of their

books for the Web?

 

Rob
