Obviously I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that if the copy was made before a certain date, that there are different rules as far as public domain. It also depends on what rights were reserved at the time you made the copy and so on. The downside is always the hassle, not the copyright. And of course different countries have different laws....ack. dt
