Note from MaryAnn - March 9, 2014.  Some of the content of this page has been incorporated into the "Copyright and Public Domain" page.  The rest has been deleted because the admin team can't determine the accuracy of country specific copyright rules and has decided to take a simplified approach to determining whether a work is in the PD in the U.S. and therefore may be recorded for Librivox.  This simplified approach is fully described on the "Copyright and Public Domain" page.
