Henry Walford Davies

Post by jamesgibb »

Walford Davies died on 11th March 1940. His works are therefore out of British copyright (70 years) and (I think) out of copyright in other EU countries. I think the copyright proviso can be safely removed, unless there are countries with a longer period of protection. (Typographical copyright is only 25 years, rather than 70)

According to the Wikipedia article, Henry Walford Davies died on March 11, 1941, not 1940. The same information is reported by several other sources. Therefore, copyright in EU will expire on January 1st, 2012, as the reference date is conventionally considered at the end of the year when death occurred. I think we should update the copyright warning at that time.
