cannot download book
I'm trying to download the little-house books uploaded by Patricia.
opens a window that says I'm not allowed to post (yet) - this is strange because I'm registered for years, am logged in and have downloaded books in the past. has anything changed lately? TIA 3Jane |

of course:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...2&d=1238549999 it is true for all the little-house series books, no matter what format. |

The Little House books are not in the public domain in the US and the downloads will not be available now that MR policy has changed.

You'll see there's no attachment link there, and the thread is in the "offline" forums. This is because the books are not public domain in life+70 countries, although it is in Canada, which is why it was originally allowed in the library. If MR is still around in 19282028, you may be able to download them then. US copyright has nothing to do with it. It's life+70 copyright (and US is not life+70) that matters.

The, it's the other way around. They are in the US public domain; they are not in the "Life+70" public domain. It would, therefore, be illegal for the original poster, who is in Germany, to download them.

I screwed up on Life+70 and US public domain as the foundation of MR policy, but the books aren't in the public domain in the US in any case.

Interestingly, only one Little House book is available for free download in Canada at the usual place, Little House in the Big Woods. None of the others have been converted.
