:There's a map at the top of [[Commons:Copyright rules by territory]] that shows how long each country's terms are for known human authors. The U.S. is weird, though, and information on that map is for 1923–1977 publications that were still under copyright in 1978, not for new post-1977 publications. U.S. works first published between 1923 and 1989 have various rules, but post-1989 U.S. publications are pretty much like any other country, with the term set at 70 years after the author's death. (It's the earlier of 95 after publication or 120 years after creation if the "creator" is anonymous, pseudonymous in a way that their real identity was lost, or an organization instead of a person.) The U.S.-specific chart is at [[[[Commons:Copyright rules by territory#United States]]. --[[User:Closeapple|Closeapple]] ([[User talk:Closeapple|talk]]) 11:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
