Just seen someone post a full scan of Ron Smith's first scroll drawing book. I'm certain it's a breach of copyright, but I'm being told it's been released to the public domain.
Can anyone tell me I'm wrong to flag it as copyrighted still?
Copyrights Date published can most usually be found on the copyright page of a book. That page will tell you when the work was copyrighted - and if the book is a first edition, the copyright date will be the same as the date published. If it is a later edition, the date will be different.
Anyone can Sell or publish non copyrighted works.
