Re: copyright questions



<<Assuming you know where and when the person died, you could contact the
person who administered the estate to find out who the heirs were.>>

For an interesting take on this be sure to read today's RAIN issue. It
contains a story about the Dead Sea Scrolls and the awarding of copyright.
Also a previous RAIN posting (I think) contained a story from England in
which an individual holds copyright to unpublished material from the 19th
century. Big court case about it right now. Briefly the original writer -- a
poet -- sold his rights to a publisher, the publisher IIRC went
defunct/bankrupt, the current copyright holder bought the rights at a
bankruptcy sale. don't have time to look up in the archives.

Nina don't forget the Maine blueberry pies! Dang I'm hungry. As for the pink
dress and hat one should wear complementary shoes -- flats for walking on
the grounds and heels if in doors, and don't forget the white gloves ladies!
