1921

Works published before 1923 are no longer under copyright in the United States. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:15, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Im not in the United States. The annotations in this work were written by me in 2016, in the U.K., they are my property and I didn't give permission for their publication on Wiki in the U.K. Or the US.

Rather than remove the material that I annotated, you instead plagerise it, share it on your website and block me for protesting about it. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. This is a new piece of work - it may contain elements of the old work, but their is new knowledge here too. The work here is nothing like the original - I'm the author, and this is tantamount to intellectual theft. You havent even credited my name to this work, which breaches wikis own Creative Commons licence. All Wiki is good for is stealing information. Your organisation is pathetic - nothing but a load of secretaries typing up the works of other people.

(1) Your location is irrelevant for US copyright law; works published before 1923 are no longer under copyright in the United States.

(2) All shared content was posted by User:Caldwellb, in that user's name, on his user page.

(a) You have not demonstrated your identity nor ownership of anything, but removed content anonymously.

(b) If you wish to contest the identity of User:Caldwellb as the originator of the text, then you must demonstrate with evidence that you, and not User:Caldwellb, are the sole author.

(c) If you are in fact User:Caldwellb, then any content you post on Wikisource is released into the public domain. The Terms of Use and release appear each time a user edits, alerting them to this policy.

(3) The additional document you defaced is dated to 1850. If you wish to contest the date or content of the source document, you must provide evidence, not simply blank the page.

Did I say the publication date was 1921, my mistake. The book was published in 1st January 1937. So I guess that means the book is still under copyright in the United States. Would you like the authors name - he was John Caldwell's grandson. Regardless of who this Caldwellb was - I'm the author of the annotations, the annotations were made concerning a text that I knew was in copyright. The annotations were never meant to be published and wiki is facilitating this Caldwellb's copyright infringement, while at the same time sharing a PDF file with my name on it.
