For books, I'd suggest using the rutgers' search engine for quick checks, and then PG 11800 for the full check. http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/~lesk/copyrenew.html There is also an updated Rule 6 howto on pglaf: http://copy.pglaf.org/rule6-new.txt R C On 4/11/06, tom arnall <kloro@cox.net> wrote:

The Catalog of Copyright entries has most of the pre-1978 data. PG has the books renewals section transcribed. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/11800 For things other than books, to include contributions to periodicals the online books page has some more. http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books/cce/ If they don't have it, you have to go to a deposit library and look it up on paper, or pay a fee to the Library of Congress to have them do a search. (There are others that will do a search for a fee as well)4 -- Greg Weeks http://durendal.org:8080/greg/

1978 is not important here; Emanuel Lasker was a German, meaning that for his books to be out of copyright means that they were first published in the US, which is really hard to prove.
