Nowadays, for a work to be PD on the Internet, it may have to be PD in all WIPO member states that participate in the Distribution of a work, that is, all countries in which a device routes the packets that transmit the work. I'm not a lawyer, but that's how I interpret the WIPO Copyright Treaty. It's PD in the USA (under the Sonny Bono law whose cutoff date is 1923) but still under copyright in the European Union, where copyright term extensions tend to restore copyright to public domain works. Given that the last surviving author died in 1934, the strips fall into PD at the end of 1934 + 70 = 2004. --Damian Yerrick |
