well, what if s’one dosen’t wish to specify the year? I mean…most of my poems posted on the blog were written long back…so which year actually goes to the copyright notice? the year of composition or the year when it is posted on the blog?

If there are several works that were created across a span of several years, my suggestion would be something like:

Copyright 2006-2010, Jane Doe

I will address issues about the public domain (i.e. works that no longer have copyright protection) in a future post.

I used to think that ‘Copyrighted to’ is the right use. This phrase is so commonly used!

I am glad I found this blog (thank you Tina for the link). I have to spread the link about this blog (there are popular blogs on Copyright but yours is more exhaustive).

Thanks again.

Also. what does the getting into the public domain mean? Is it that the content is free to be used by anyone if it once enters the public domain. Does self published work ever gets into that category, if it does, how and when does it?

thanks again.

One provision of that Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1839, defines a trade secret as follows:

“trade secret” means all forms and types of financial, business, scientific, technical, economic, or engineering information, including patterns, plans, compilations, program devices, formulas, designs, prototypes, methods, techniques, processes, procedures, programs, or codes, whether tangible or intangible, and whether or how stored, compiled, or memorialized physically, electronically, graphically, photographically, or in writing if—

(A) the owner thereof has taken reasonable measures to keep such information secret; and

(B) the information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable through proper means by, the public.

The only I would point out is that trade secret law is not governed exclusively by state law. The Economic Espionage Act (18 USC 1831 et seq.) made theft of trade secrets a federal crime in some circumstances, and contains its own definition of trade secret.

Thank you for noting the discrepancy on the copyright term. We will correct it in the copy and note it on a separate corrections & errata page.

We will begin addressing copyright limitations and compulsory licenses at a later date, but like your idea of a similar timeline.

Your estimate of 150 years for copyright is a bit long. It assumes works created at birth of the author. A better assumption might be 39+ 70 = 109 (average age plus 70)

Also, a list of exceptions (fair use, first sale, etc) with dates would be helpful.
