This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article. What happens when a copyright is sold or given to someone else? Could the copyright be indefinite when given from person to person or must it become public domain?
Copyright term in Argentina was extended from 50 to 70 years in 1997 (Law 24,870). I added the correction on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.42.81.201 ( talk) 13:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Since this article is tagged unreferenced, we could copy Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights#Dates of restoration and terms of protection here.-- Jusjih 23:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
As I copied the table from Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, perhaps we should think how to arrange each table. As the copyright restoration dates is USA-centric, ambiguous and unexplained, perhaps we should drop them here and leave them at the linked project page.-- Jusjih 16:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Plural and possesive acknowledged but I don't think the apostrophe is right. I understand them as representing omitted letters within the word, not end. It is not a separator or modifier. Just a passing comment. Fred 11:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Noun
apostrophe (plural apostrophes) (orthography) The text character ’, which is used to mark the possessive case ('s) or to show omission of letters or numbers ("tho'", "they'll", "'65").
FYI only, still researching. Current position is that ~s's is derived from archaic ~ses; making all cases ommmisions Fred 18:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to live in a country without Copyright law. This article claims that Afghanistan and the Marshal Islands currently don't have Copyright law, but that Afghanistan is drafting such laws. Are there any other such countries? Can anyone provide references to back up the claim that the Marshal Islands (or other countries) don't have Copyright law? Thanks, - Connelly ( talk) 05:39, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I just tried adding "until year end" for Hong Kong copyright length, but these words make the descriptions so long. Could anyone please think of a shorter way to specify year-end copyright expiration? While modern copyright laws and regulations frequently make year-end copyright expiration, I have seen a few, such as Mexico, not doing so.-- Jusjih ( talk) 01:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi.
I noticed that most of the terms are "life + XX years". But what about corporate-made works, where "author's life" is ambiguous/not applicable? I'm sure it varies from country to country but shouldn't it be listed too? mike4ty4 ( talk) 00:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
There's both this article and List of countries' copyright length based on publication and creation dates. Consider a book published in 1925 by an author who died in 1938 (and copyright was renewed in time). Is it copyrighted until 2008 (Life+70), or until 2020 (publication+95)? According to this and this, it seems it would be the latter. Is this right? Can this be made clearer in the article? Shreevatsa ( talk) 20:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
List of countries' copyright length based on publication and creation dates was split off from this article, which apparently makes it less clear what the applicable rules are. It would be clearer to list them in a single article, perhaps with separate columns for corporate/anonymous works and for individual works. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 22:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
There seems to be a question whether the additional days for WW1, WW2 and maybe "mort pour la france" apply since the change from 50 to 70. Jurisprudence gives a quite complex situation. PFPillon ( talk)22:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Here is a machine translation of the judgment in that case: 04-12138 Judgement No. 280 of February 27, 2007 Court of Cassation - First Civil Chamber It appears that adoption of the new copyright treaty invalidated the life + 50 yrs. + war length and substituted life plus 70 yrs. The 30 year bonus for death in the cause of France has not yet been tested, so far as I know, but it would seem that it would also be replaced by the newer treaty. Enon ( talk) 02:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
This page which is a machine translation of the French Wikipedia page lined in the table section for France gives a detailed account of the intricacies of present French copyright terms: Prorogations_de_guerre / (Copyright extensions of war) I have updated the table entry for France in an effort to make it clearer that extensions beyond life plus 70 years do not apply to non-musical works of authors who did not die for France. Enon ( talk) 03:31, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Where is kosovo on the list? 69.181.226.238 ( talk) 04:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
it's my understanding that material must be protected for at least 60 years after the author's death in order to be in compliance with TRIPS. however, under kuwaity law 64/1999 (included as a note), the work is protected for 50 years, not 60. i've changed it to "Life + 50 years" to reflect that. سليمان عدنان مصطفى ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Russian law concerning copyright changed a few times during last 20 or so years, which caused some confusion. You can see the current situation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_Russia. We are looking at Part 4 of Civil Code, which concerns intellectual property. Regrettably, I couldn't find translation to English specifically of this 4th part. The links 241 and 242 in this wiki article are not valid now. First one is dead, second points to the Law, preceding Civil Code, part 4 (though the text in the Law and Civil Code are the same. The correct link for Civil Code is http://www.consultant.ru/popular/gkrf4/ (article 1281) or the same source as in current link 242, but it is more difficult to find there (also you have to choose not Law, but Civil Code). I'll translate the article 1281 for you here.
--- Start of translation ---
1. Exclusive right on work is in effect during lifetime of the author plus 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year, following the year of author's death.
Exclusive right on work, created by few authors, is in effect during lifetime of the last live author plus 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year, following the year of his/her death.
2. On work, published anonymously or by the nickname, exclusive right expires after 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year, following the year of rightful publishing. If during the aforementioned period the author will open his/her identity or his identity will become undoubted, exclusive right will be in effect during the time set by point one of this article.
3. Exclusive right on work published after author's death is in effect 70 years after publication, counting from January 1, following the year of publication, provided, the work was published no more than 70 years after author's death.
4. If an author was repressed and rehabilitated post mortem, the time of exclusife right effect considered to be prolonged and 70 years counts from January 1 of the year following the year of author's rehabilitation.
5. If an author worked during the Great War (1941-1945) or took part in it, the time of exclusive right effect set by this article is prolonged by 4 years.
--- End of translation ---
So Russian Civil Code states, that there are 3 cases: 1. lifetime + 70 years 2. lifetime + 74 years (if worked during or took part in Great War 1941-45) 3. 70 years after rehabilitation (if repressed and rehabilitated post mortem)
But according to article 6 of Federal Law 231 (18.12.2006) ( http://base.garant.ru/12151067/#6) all this applies only if the authors right dind't exprire according to previous (50 years) law to January 1, 1993. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VadimVMog ( talk • contribs) 04:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
1953 year is the year, when rehabilitations of repressed people *started*. Some people were rehabilitated in 80s and 90s and even in 00s as far as I know.
Also column 2 may be filled (1. 70 years after publication if author stays anonymous or by nickname; 2. 70 years after publication if published after author's death)
I don't quite understand column 3, but maybe change is needed too.
P.S. OK. On April 8, 2011 I made appropriate changes to column 1 and corrected links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VadimVMog ( talk • contribs) 08:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm thinking we could organize this table by region. It would make it easier to edit and easier to read; it would also help us to harmonize EU laws concerning copyright (there is a little difference between EU nations - e.g., {{ PD-Italy}}, but not much). Magog the Ogre ( talk) 04:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Chart published in Wikipedia says it's life plus 50 yrs, but this chart from Cornell [ [1]] says they have no copyright law, seems to be updated to January 2011... Who's correct> Oaktree b ( talk) 02:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
The page Copyright expiration in Australia, and possibly Copyright law of Australia, are very useful for understanding details and subtleties beyond those given in the table. I haven't added them as I'm not sure how to do it neatly.
Perhaps a "More details" linking to a footnote? (Only if it's good practice to link text to a footnote... I'm sure it's possible but might be messy). -- Chriswaterguy talk 04:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
With regard to US Copyright Terms Based on Author's Death: Footnote 313 points to a Legal Information Institute page with heading "17 USC § 302 - Duration of copyright: Works created on or after January 1, 1978." Does "Life + 70" not apply to works published before January 1, 1978? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdwilber ( talk • contribs) 19:17, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
The table's duration column states Berne, TRIPS and WCT without any links or explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.69.237 ( talk) 20:50, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
There should really be a column in the table which gives a date of when the length was extended by said country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.12.245.18 ( talk) 10:09, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
I noticed that Spain was out of sync with the map. It has a restrictions until death + 70 according to the table and its sources but the maps showed death + 80. I've updated the map. But we need to research if there are more countries out of sync. Martsniez ( talk) 15:32, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians, I am very confused about the copyrights of historical artworks that are part of a collection of stockphoto's like Getty Images. According to this page, all older works are copyright-free. So how is it that some companies ask (a lot of) money to use those pictures? Even when the exact same picture (for example this 14th-century miniature [1]) can be downloaded at another site (for example [2]) with the declaration that the images are free of copyright? I would like to see some information on that. Cmuusers ( talk) 10:28, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Is the information about Mexico correct? Found this on the net: [1]
A. In the case of the works of authors that died by or before January 11, 1982, the term of the copyright economic rights expired on January 11, 2012. These works are in public domain now.
B. In the case of the works authors that died between January 12, 1982 and March 23, 1997, the term of the copyright economic rights will expire 50 years after the date of death.
C. In the case of the works of authors that died between March 24, 1997 and July 23, 2003, the term of the copyright economic rights will expire 75 years after the date of death.
D. In the case of the works of authors that passed away on or after July 24, 2003, the economic rights will expire 100 years after the date of death.
And Wikimedia Commons says about Côte d'Ivoire: "Under the 1996 law, copyright in Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) lasted for 99 years after the death of the author for works published within the lifetime of the author, and 99 years from publication for photographic or audiovisual works or works of applied art; anonymous or pseudonymous works; and posthumous works. Ivory Coast had the rule of the shorter term. Under the 2016 law these durations were dropped down to 70 years." 46.212.126.226 ( talk) 11:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

I went ahead and changed the copyright length in a style similar to Australia following the extension. It is not yet 30 December 2022 but the effective date means the new copyright length will apply starting 2023 plus there is a note for deaths before 1972, so I do not see an issue with changing the entry already now.

While this page or the map are not in error, the information they convey is somewhat lacking.
I doubt many people who come here are interested in how long the copyright lasts if the copyrighted work is/was created by a living author. I guess many people come here to find out when the copyright for a particular author expires. I don't know how this page could/should be improved but just noting this down here.
I for example came here because I wondered how come Dorothy L Sayers books are available on-line for free. I was surprised when I saw the map showing that in Canada copyright lasts for 70 years but Sayers died in 1927 thus they should still be under copyright. Turns out that in Canada the copyright expired before the length was extended from 50 to 70 years so that is why they are available from a server in Canada. 87.95.119.51 ( talk) 08:29, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article. What happens when a copyright is sold or given to someone else? Could the copyright be indefinite when given from person to person or must it become public domain?
Copyright term in Argentina was extended from 50 to 70 years in 1997 (Law 24,870). I added the correction on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.42.81.201 ( talk) 13:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Since this article is tagged unreferenced, we could copy Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights#Dates of restoration and terms of protection here.-- Jusjih 23:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
As I copied the table from Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, perhaps we should think how to arrange each table. As the copyright restoration dates is USA-centric, ambiguous and unexplained, perhaps we should drop them here and leave them at the linked project page.-- Jusjih 16:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Plural and possesive acknowledged but I don't think the apostrophe is right. I understand them as representing omitted letters within the word, not end. It is not a separator or modifier. Just a passing comment. Fred 11:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Noun
apostrophe (plural apostrophes) (orthography) The text character ’, which is used to mark the possessive case ('s) or to show omission of letters or numbers ("tho'", "they'll", "'65").

Hi.
I noticed that most of the terms are "life + XX years". But what about corporate-made works, where "author's life" is ambiguous/not applicable? I'm sure it varies from country to country but shouldn't it be listed too? mike4ty4 ( talk) 00:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
There's both this article and List of countries' copyright length based on publication and creation dates. Consider a book published in 1925 by an author who died in 1938 (and copyright was renewed in time). Is it copyrighted until 2008 (Life+70), or until 2020 (publication+95)? According to this and this, it seems it would be the latter. Is this right? Can this be made clearer in the article? Shreevatsa ( talk) 20:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
List of countries' copyright length based on publication and creation dates was split off from this article, which apparently makes it less clear what the applicable rules are. It would be clearer to list them in a single article, perhaps with separate columns for corporate/anonymous works and for individual works. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 22:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
There seems to be a question whether the additional days for WW1, WW2 and maybe "mort pour la france" apply since the change from 50 to 70. Jurisprudence gives a quite complex situation. PFPillon ( talk)22:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Here is a machine translation of the judgment in that case: 04-12138 Judgement No. 280 of February 27, 2007 Court of Cassation - First Civil Chamber It appears that adoption of the new copyright treaty invalidated the life + 50 yrs. + war length and substituted life plus 70 yrs. The 30 year bonus for death in the cause of France has not yet been tested, so far as I know, but it would seem that it would also be replaced by the newer treaty. Enon ( talk) 02:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
This page which is a machine translation of the French Wikipedia page lined in the table section for France gives a detailed account of the intricacies of present French copyright terms: Prorogations_de_guerre / (Copyright extensions of war) I have updated the table entry for France in an effort to make it clearer that extensions beyond life plus 70 years do not apply to non-musical works of authors who did not die for France.

it's my understanding that material must be protected for at least 60 years after the author's death in order to be in compliance with TRIPS. however, under kuwaity law 64/1999 (included as a note), the work is protected for 50 years, not 60. i've changed it to "Life + 50 years" to reflect that. سليمان عدنان مصطفى ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Russian law concerning copyright changed a few times during last 20 or so years, which caused some confusion. You can see the current situation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_Russia. We are looking at Part 4 of Civil Code, which concerns intellectual property. Regrettably, I couldn't find translation to English specifically of this 4th part. The links 241 and 242 in this wiki article are not valid now. First one is dead, second points to the Law, preceding Civil Code, part 4 (though the text in the Law and Civil Code are the same. The correct link for Civil Code is http://www.consultant.ru/popular/gkrf4/ (article 1281) or the same source as in current link 242, but it is more difficult to find there (also you have to choose not Law, but Civil Code). I'll translate the article 1281 for you here.
--- Start of translation ---
1. Exclusive right on work is in effect during lifetime of the author plus 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year, following the year of author's death.
Exclusive right on work, created by few authors, is in effect during lifetime of the last live author plus 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year, following the year of his/her death.
2. On work, published anonymously or by the nickname, exclusive right expires after 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year, following the year of rightful publishing. If during the aforementioned period the author will open his/her identity or his identity will become undoubted, exclusive right will be in effect during the time set by point one of this article.
3. Exclusive right on work published after author's death is in effect 70 years after publication, counting from January 1, following the year of publication, provided, the work was published no more than 70 years after author's death.
4. If an author was repressed and rehabilitated post mortem, the time of exclusife right effect considered to be prolonged and 70 years counts from January 1 of the year following the year of author's rehabilitation.
5. If an author worked during the Great War (1941-1945) or took part in it, the time of exclusive right effect set by this article is prolonged by 4 years.
--- End of translation ---
So Russian Civil Code states, that there are 3 cases: 1. lifetime + 70 years 2. lifetime + 74 years (if worked during or took part in Great War 1941-45) 3. 70 years after rehabilitation (if repressed and rehabilitated post mortem)
But according to article 6 of Federal Law 231 (18.12.2006) ( http://base.garant.ru/12151067/#6) all this applies only if the authors right dind't exprire according to previous (50 years) law to January 1, 1993. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VadimVMog ( talk • contribs) 04:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
1953 year is the year, when rehabilitations of repressed people *started*. Some people were rehabilitated in 80s and 90s and even in 00s as far as I know.
Also column 2 may be filled (1. 70 years after publication if author stays anonymous or by nickname; 2. 70 years after publication if published after author's death)
I don't quite understand column 3, but maybe change is needed too.
P.S. OK. On April 8, 2011 I made appropriate changes to column 1 and corrected links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VadimVMog ( talk • contribs) 08:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm thinking we could organize this table by region.

The page Copyright expiration in Australia, and possibly Copyright law of Australia, are very useful for understanding details and subtleties beyond those given in the table. I haven't added them as I'm not sure how to do it neatly.
Perhaps a "More details" linking to a footnote? (Only if it's good practice to link text to a footnote... I'm sure it's possible but might be messy). -- Chriswaterguy talk 04:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
With regard to US Copyright Terms Based on Author's Death: Footnote 313 points to a Legal Information Institute page with heading "17 USC § 302 - Duration of copyright: Works created on or after January 1, 1978."

Dear Wikipedians, I am very confused about the copyrights of historical artworks that are part of a collection of stockphoto's like Getty Images. According to this page, all older works are copyright-free. So how is it that some companies ask (a lot of) money to use those pictures? Even when the exact same picture (for example this 14th-century miniature [1]) can be downloaded at another site (for example [2]) with the declaration that the images are free of copyright? I would like to see some information on that. Cmuusers ( talk) 10:28, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Is the information about Mexico correct? Found this on the net: [1]
A. In the case of the works of authors that died by or before January 11, 1982, the term of the copyright economic rights expired on January 11, 2012. These works are in public domain now.
B. In the case of the works authors that died between January 12, 1982 and March 23, 1997, the term of the copyright economic rights will expire 50 years after the date of death.
C. In the case of the works of authors that died between March 24, 1997 and July 23, 2003, the term of the copyright economic rights will expire 75 years after the date of death.
D. In the case of the works of authors that passed away on or after July 24, 2003, the economic rights will expire 100 years after the date of death.
And Wikimedia Commons says about Côte d'Ivoire: "Under the 1996 law, copyright in Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) lasted for 99 years after the death of the author for works published within the lifetime of the author, and 99 years from publication for photographic or audiovisual works or works of applied art; anonymous or pseudonymous works; and posthumous works. Ivory Coast had the rule of the shorter term. Under the 2016 law these durations were dropped down to 70 years." 46.212.126.226 ( talk) 11:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

I was looking through Commons' Copyright rules by territory, and it has some differences from this page:
Might be worth checking these to confirm which one's right. ‑‑ Yodin T 19:37, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
I went ahead and changed the copyright length in a style similar to Australia following the extension. It is not yet 30 December 2022 but the effective date means the new copyright length will apply starting 2023 plus there is a note for deaths before 1972, so I do not see an issue with changing the entry already now.

While this page or the map are not in error, the information they convey is somewhat lacking.
I doubt many people who come here are interested in how long the copyright lasts if the copyrighted work is/was created by a living author. I guess many people come here to find out when the copyright for a particular author expires. I don't know how this page could/should be improved but just noting this down here.
I for example came here because I wondered how come Dorothy L Sayers books are available on-line for free. I was surprised when I saw the map showing that in Canada copyright lasts for 70 years but Sayers died in 1927 thus they should still be under copyright. Turns out that in Canada the copyright expired before the length was extended from 50 to 70 years so that is why they are available from a server in Canada. 87.95.119.51 ( talk) 08:29, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
