Copyright
According to relevant authorities, current regulations dictate that the period of copyright for a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work is the life of the author plus 70 years. The period of copyright for a photograph is also the life of the author plus 70 years, unless the original image was created before January 1, 1945, in which case, copyright lasts for just 50 years and must necessarily have expired on December 31, 1994 at the latest.
However, please note: because of recent changes to copyright law, electronic reproductions of images may extend their copyright beyond the 70 year rule. All images on this website, therefore, are used at one’s own risk.
Most of the written material on this website is now well within the public domain (out of copyright) and can be used freely. However, there are some materials that are, strictly speaking, still under copyright (e.g. they fall foul of the 70 year rule) and I realise that, in this sense, I am in breach of copyright law. However, these works are previously published tributes to Stead from long deceased contemporaries and are here offered to researchers on the understanding that all academic acknowledgement procedures are adhered to. All works from living authors here produced are done so only with kind permission.
Please follow all copyright regulations when quoting from materials on this website. You may quote only brief passages from copyrighted texts and only for academic and noncommercial purposes. Those documents which are out of copyright you may use freely unless otherwise instructed. For more on copyright, visit:
