I am hoping for clarification about copyright renewal. I came across a thread months ago, but now I can't find it again.
This is the scenario:
The AUTHOR (Mark Twain) died in 1910.
The Editor & COMMENTATOR of a posthumously-published Twain book died in 1937.
The book was PUBLISHED in 1935, and DID have copyright renewed by the estate.
Logic tells me that the original text and the editor's comments are both in public domain in life+50 and Life+70 countries, but caution tells me I should strip out the commentary and keep only the original Twain text.
If I do strip the comments, wouldn't that make the book "legal for download" in all countries?
(Apologies for public exposure of stupidity...
