All I know is that Project Gutenberg US won't touch foreign authors who first published in the US and their copyright in the US had failed to be renewed. The response I got was that the copyright situtation was too hazy and they didn't want to take on the risk. I assume the retoration of copyright we're taking about was the reason. I never thought about scanning and uploading for MR, figuring that PG knew more about it than I did.
