[pd-discuss] UK flowchart min (50 years from publication, 125 years from publication)

Mon Feb 22 16:43:50 UTC 2010

Hi Maarten,

I'm not sure that either one is correct anyway. The UK as Member State
of the EU must have a duration of life + 70 years or of 70 years from
publication in case of initial ownership by a legal entity. I don't know
where the 125 years comes from, maybe Christina has a better idea.

Regarding your earlier question about creating a category 'Legal', there
indeed needs a new category to catch remaining types of works not
falling in the other categories, but I would simply call it 'Other'.

Best regards,

Lucie

Subject: [pd-discuss] UK flowchart min (50 years from publication,125
years from publication)

HI all,

In the UK flowchart as developed by OKFN and communia I see a field that
states: 

min (50 years from publication, 125 years from publication)

Does this mean that 

a work needs to be 50 years since publication AND 125 years from
creation before it falls in the public domain. 

Or does it mean

a work needs to be 50 years since publication OR 125 years from creation
before it falls in the public domain?

Best,

Maarten Zeinstra
