Re: [gutvol-d] copyright clearances
Distributed Proofreaders Europe is set up to handle the different copyright terms of countries in Europe. You might want to give them a try. I'm sure they could use plenty of volunteer help! http://dp.rastko.net/ Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Burnhill" <darrenburnhill@hotmail.com> To: gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org Subject: [gutvol-d] copyright clearances Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 09:06:51 +0000
Hi,
Thanks for the (helpful) replies. I appreciate that it is a complicated issue and should have therefore stated that what I meant was just a link to some general information/pointers to set people on the right track.
Is there anyone looking after the interests of the Brits?, as I have (potentially) quite a few books to submit and 24/7/365 as free time.

I submit books which are out of copyright in the US to the main DP, which filters into the US Project Gutenberg. All the non-US PG siblings are very small, new operations, and have no set procedures for actually posting books. -- Jon Ingram

Just a quick note that between PG-EU and PG-US, we are both happy to have duplicate content. So, you could submit to both places. There is some duplication (or planned duplication, anyway) with PG-AU as well. -- Greg
