The closest analog I could see would be the Bible. It has been rewritten and reprinted hundreds of times throughout the years and each version seems to have a rolling new copyright date when it gets updated. The reason I know this is that when I was flipping through a book by a local author, she quoted some passages from the Bible. There was a notation of which Bible she used and acquired permission to use on the copyright page in the front of the book.


Not at all my area of the law, but from what I remember translations and annotations (commentary, footnotes, etc) are considered new derivative works that have their own protections.

Why should Americans have to pay anyone for the use of this historical cartoon? Who alive actually deserves payment for the creation of Steamboat Willy?

It was always available in China.

The concept of copyright law is very interesting when you consider it at abstract level.
