Exactly. A pseudonymous work is only pub+50 while the author's actual identity is not publicly known:

6.1 Except as provided in section 6.2, where the identity of the author of a work is unknown, copyright in the work shall subsist for whichever of the following terms ends earlier:

(a) a term consisting of the remainder of the calendar year of the first publication of the work and a period of fifty years following the end of that calendar year, and

(b) a term consisting of the remainder of the calendar year of the making of the work and a period of seventy-five years following the end of that calendar year,

but where, during that term, the author's identity becomes commonly known, the term provided in section 6 applies.

What does this mean for Project Gutenberg Canada? How much research is needed before they could conclude that the identity of an author is not commonly known? -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
