It’s just common sense.

    Since you're volunteering to be at, and record all dates of conception for every child everywhere, I think that's a perfectly valid stance.

    Bitcoins aren't money in the same way that gift cards aren't money. That prepaid card at the gas station isn't for X gallons of gas, it's for some artificial amount called dollars that can later be traded for gas.

  23. Convoluted on What Could Have Been In the Public Domain Today, But Isn't · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm interpreting the Berne convention wrong, literary works of authors that published in signatories outside of the USA either solely or simultaneously as publication in the US, will still enter the public domain 50 years after the authors death or the lesser of the terms granted by any of the signatory country publications. Combined with the summary , this leads me to believe that A) the summary is false and works from other countries did enter the public domain, B) No authors died in 1962 and the summary is true, or C) All other signatory countries with authors that died in 1962 gave equal or greater duration for copyright than the USA and the summary is still true. Or some combination of A, B, and C. My vague understanding is that the extensions to copyright in the USA only apply to works published first solely in the USA and not published in other Berne signatory countries for 30 days after the initial publication.
