OK, I know we are not all lawyers here, but I have searched the federal copyright site and still can't answer some of my questions, and neither can most lawyers without a lot of research!
I have a postcard collection some very old, but others with publishers and serial numbers listed on the back. None have an official copyright symbol listed. A few are from the 1930-50's. Most are older which I know are in the public domain (free of copyright)
Am I correct in assuming that most of these other cards are probably also in the public domain, or does the listing of a publisher change things?
I'm trying to avoid making a trip to Washington, but I have a feeling that is what I'll be doing.
If anyone knows a good site about copyright that answers questions beyond "This is what copyright is and what is copyrightable" Pleaseeeee, let me know about it.
Thanks.
