However, reading about Dunsany on Wikipedia I see that all of his work is still in copyright around the world except in the USA where his pre-1923 work is public domain. After one of my recent book uploads got some comment about possible copyright violation, I'm a wee bit gun shy. I honestly don't want to cause anyone grief or get this site into trouble, but a lot of interesting work is not available worldwide. Yet anyone can go to PG or other sites and download the files. What to do? Forget about the conversion of such work or include a warning that it's only available to people residing in the USA? I'd appreciate some clear guidance on this. I'll be converting some of this stuff for my own use and it seems kind of a waste not to make it available to others.

There is work going on behind the scenes to resolve this sort of problem. I don't want to say more, until everything is sorted out and ready to run. But expect an announcement in the next week or 10 days. Alex has a cunning plan.
