I'm still collecting some materials that will provide the future PG- Canada with rules for public-domain clearances under the current Copyright Act, AND -- importantly, the pre-1924 law. I've got most of the relevant statutes, and a number of the leading cases, already collected, with a few more to trickle in. I can provide a legal bibliography for anyone who's interested. I'm also continuing with some bibliographical research, including a long-term project in AMICUS, and a short-term back-of-envelope project using O'Dea's Newfoundland Bibliography. There are a frustratingly large number of authors with difficult-to- determine death dates. Any updates from anyone else on the technical or other fronts? Let's get moving...
