Nancy Drew still in copyright?
While googling around I found a site with several of the old Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books for download, among many others. Books like "Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock" which was the first one published in 1930. The site claims that all the titles are in public domain, but I think these books are a little too new (30s and 40s) to have hit PD just yet.

It's possible the copyrights were never renewed and the books have indeed moved into public domain, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure?
