Nate, I'm confused. I thought that this was about a law restoring copyright protection to foreign books that had not been renewed in the US under US copyright law of the times. If the Kansas circuit court has ruled that you can't put things back into copyright that had fallen out of it, that means those items put back into copyright have fallen back out of it in the area of the court's jurisdiction. Yes? No? If so, whatever fell out of the restored copyright is in the public domain there. Yes? No? And if it is in the public domain in Kansas, it could be made available on the internet in Kansas? Yes? No?
