[pd-discuss] Question pd-discuss Digest, Vol 51, Issue 11

In most EU jurisdictions the presence (or absence) of a copyright notice is irrelevant. It is equally irrelevant, whether a work is in the public domain according to another jurisdiction.
Only the explicit donation of the work by the rights owners (or a CC license) would be able to circumvent copyright protection until 70 years after the director's death.

I also thought Night of the Living had issues in the US due to the
soundtrack not being PD.
