This is not Agatha Christie's works; this is one title and it is in the public domain in my country - the United States.
If it is not in the public domain in the country where one lives, then do not download it. Last edited by Dr. Drib; Today at 10:19 AM. |

Hi folks,
A few facts before the discussion might heat up: ;-) Agatha Christie died in 1976. Posting Guidelines of mobileread.com, Section 8 (Links, Uploads, Copyright and DRM) Quote:
It's because the MR servers are located in the EU, where copyright extends to "life of the author plus 70 years after their death". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...s_of_countries So, Dr. Drib's argument might hold on other platforms where servers are not located in the EU and it's just the readers who have to watch the copyright laws of their respective countries, but in this case it's MR as the distributor of potentially still protected works and it therefore has to abide by EU laws by making use of the copyright guidelines quoted above. That's the facts as far as I can see (I am not a lawyer). Have a nice weekend everyone and long live MR! |
