Peter Hirtle Does It Again: Updated Copyright Term and Public Domain in U.S. Chart

Peter Hirtle, Senior Policy Advisor in the Cornell University Library and member of the Stanford Copyright & Fair Use Advisory Board, has updated his Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States chart. Among the changes, Hirtle added the list of countries that have joined Berne or WTO after Jan. 1, 1996. This wonderful gem will not only make a great gift, it is also licensed to users  under Creative Commons’ Attribution 3.0 license. We’ve also added the Chart to our Links section on the lower right-hand side of our blog just in case you lose your print-out or link. Incidentally, this is probably another reason why Cornell Law is currently the Lady Gaga of law schools.
