[DeTomaso] Copyright law

Tue May 24 07:40:11 EDT 2016

In film up until the '70s unless you had a formal copyright and date
you can republish without consulting the author.  Written text is
treated differently but I can't remember exactly how.  I do know that
as a guide, copyright lasts as long as the first appearance of Micky
Mouse, primarily due to legal and legislative guidance from Walt
Disney, Michael Eisner and others.

The nice thing though is Buster Keaton movies are free to rebroadcast
as much as you like :)

Plagiarism is still bad form though so you should always cite your
source if you can.  But you can still republish items from the list or
if you want to play it safe, use the Wayback machine and just submit
the link.  Then the disgruntled party will have to sue Archive.org and
not you.
