So let me get this straight

If a content was published before January 1, 1923. You can freely use it for free without permission. I don't understand so which of the scenarios are correct:

1- If the content was published in Canada?
2- If the content was published in the U.S and used in Canada?


Does that rule also apply to Canada?

Mind= blown.

im pretty sure that it does not apply in the united states. i heard that it is that way in the united kingdom, so any dominion/ex colonial country like canada or australia might have the same policy.

Anything written at that time will stand out for being one of three things:

1:Retarded by today's standards
2:Completely inaccurate and didn't stand up to time
3:spoken in some crazy sounding English

You are better off re-writing new ideas.

Someone writes:

"A lot of people like to smoke pot. It makes your temples ring and it opens up your mind in ways that retarded hippies only dreamed"

then you heist and write:

"Many across the world love to light a joint. It opens your sixth sense and that is why it is illegal."

Just examples :sly:
