Please clear up a related confusion I have. Does the length of copyright depend upon the writer's country of birth (eg America) or the potential downloader's geographical location?
Please don't all hit me at once if I was wrong to do this. I was recently looking at the Canadian Gutenberg, which is life plus 50, but couldn't find any John Steinbeck, yet he died long enough ago to fall into this category. Is it because he lived in the states and his works are subject to US copyright?
I probably shouldn't have been doing this because I live in a life plus 70 country, but I didn't actually download anything.
Please clear up my confusion: is it the author's birthplace/where he lived which matters, or are other factors more important?
