Copyright in pre 1978 unpublished works…

Dracula posterCopyright geeks (like me) will enjoy  the  good discussion  of copyright protection for works created before 1978 but not published until after the new copyright act took effect.  Hat tip to Tara Warrington for spotting Leslie Klinger’s piece, and a nice analysis, using Bram Stoker’s alternate ending for Dracula, as an illustration.

Here’s the link to Tara’s piece on one of my favorite legal blogs:  The Legal Satricon
