How is such notification done?
To easily find some examples, look for Jane Austen's works, H.G. Wells, and other well-known long-dead authors.
Note that they seem to use a ridiculous date for "world wide" public domain...something in the 1800s, rather than a "US-Safe" cutoff of 1923.
I think they (Google) are creating ambiguity when there is none, at least in the US. -- Greg
They made a huge mistake doing too many copyrighted books with the original Google Print Library, now they are hard at work trying to reverse that public relations fiasco. i.e. going overboard in the other direction. mh
