Generally, for most works created after 1978, protection lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.

Edgar Rice Burroughs died in 1950. By this rule all his books would have become Public Domain back in 2020.

302. Duration of copyright: Works created on or after January 1, 1978[4]

(a) In General.—Copyright in a work created on or after January 1, 1978, subsists from its creation and, except as provided by the following subsections, endures for a term consisting of the life of the author and 70 years after the author’s death.

yeah. Meaning all of his books should have become public domain in 2020.

B*tch Stole My Work

“It’s fine though, I changed the font so it’s mine now”. 

  What would be worse, pitching article ideas  to a magazine company only to have them reject you and for you later to find out that they’ve posted pieces online which obviously spawned from your very original idea? 

Or having the magazine agree to commission you, you spend weeks perfecting the piece, only to find that once it is published…

Long distance relationship is never an easy thing. But for me, it is one of the best challenges God has given us. There are times of hopelessness, lonesomeness, times of pain, times of misunderstandings that would surely test your patience. But if you foundation is as strong as your will, and if you put God as the center of your foundation, then LDR means nothing. 

Since i’m having a long distance relationship with my boyfriend, who’s currently working in Abu Dhabi, I made a song for him that definitely conveys my emotions though were thousand miles away  ...

when my sun shines, you close your eyes. when i woke up, your sleepin' tight our worlds' divided into two parts, pulling us to grow apart these lingering moments and those thoughts after. longingness, i feel you in me.

but that won't stop me from loving you.. distance wont matter as long as my heart's with you together we'll share the same sky and breath the same air                        like we used to do because loving you means no boundaries.

you never fail to show your love you never fail to make me laugh you've got everything a girl would ever ask. oh yes man you got it all

although we live in different spaces, still my heart beats the same, its your name i want to hear, its your voice i long to hear.

but that won't stop me from loving you.. distance wont matter as long as my heart's with you together we'll share the same sky and breath the same air                        like we used to do because loving you means no boundaries.

Automatically Change The Copyright Year In WordPress

In past days most newbie bloggers ask me one question that is “How do I automatically change the copyright year in WordPress?”

You can see some sites have outdated copyright days and some have also the same year only. Now in this post, I will tell you different ways to automation of your WordPress copyright year/static time stamp.

Most WordPress themes have a place in the footer for copyright information or site credits.Sometimes this is in the filefooter.php, the various way sometimes it’s not. It depends on the theme.

I’d like to show you not only how to change the copyright year automatically, but also how to change all types of dates.

Simple PHP Snippets  for Automatic Copyright Date

Here's the same in PHP so you can do this server-side. Use WordPress? Find the 'footer.php' in your Editor and add this there (here are videos to help you with that). The below snippet will just show the current year:

This will just give you:

2017

  Or if you want more detail in your footer, use something like this:

This will just give you:

© 2008-2017 Company.

What BesuccessBlogger Use

And This will give you

Copyright © 2015 - 2017 · Company Name · All rights reserved

Change  'company.com' to your site address and "Company" to your Site name.

Automatically Copyright Year According to First Post and Newest Post

I saw a more elegant solution suggested by @frumph of CompicPress Theme. They are using this function on their excellent ComicPress theme. This function will generate a dynamic copyright date based on the published date of your First post and the newest post. If it is the first year of your site, then this function will automatically display only the current year.

To implement this dynamic copyright date in your WordPress footer, open your theme’s functions.php file and add the following code: Then open your theme’s footer.php file and add the following code where you want to display the date:

<?php echo comicpress_copyright(); ?>

This function will add the following text:

© 2015 – 2017

How WordPress Uses Dates and Times

WordPress core, themes, and plugins use PHP as a server-side programming language. What’s important to know is that WordPress uses PHP conventions for dates and times, and it uses the time from the server it is running on.

PHP has a function called .date() What the datefunction return is the current date or time, as represented by certain letter symbols. Here is a chart of the more commonly used PHP date and time symbols.

Character Description Example Output Y Numeric 4-digit year Ex: 2012, 2015 y Numeric 2-digit year Ex: 01, 16 F Full text of the current month January—December m Number of current month, with leading zeros 01—12 n Number of current month, no leading zeros 1—12 M Three letters of current month Jan—Dec l Current day, full name (lowercase “L”) Sunday—Saturday D Current day, three letters Mon—Sun d Day of the month, with leading zeroes 01—31 j Day of the month, no leading zeroes 1—31 S English suffix for day of the week st, nd, rd, th (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) z Numeric day of the year (starts with 0) 0 through 365 H Hour, 24 hour, with leading zeroes 00 — 23 G Hour, 24 hour, no leading zeroes 0 — 23 h Hour, 12 hour, with leading zeroes 01 — 12 g Hour, 12 hour, no leading zeroes 1 — 12 i Minutes, with leading zeroes 00 — 59 s Seconds, with leading zeroes 00 — 59 a Time of day, lowercase am, pm A Time of day, uppercase AM, PM T Timezone abbreviation EST, PST, MDT, etc. e Timezone identifier UTC, GMT, etc.

What Is A Dynamic Footer Year Or Timestamp?

Ever looked at a website and wondered if it is still in operation? Maybe a thing or two looked like they could have been updated – and then you notice the copyright notice the in the footer. "2012. Right, this site must be dead. Let's move along."

Of course, it could be that the owner just forgot to update the year in the footer. That happens a lot, especially if those years are hard-coded strings. To future-proof your footer, it's better to just let computers take care of this. Grab one of these snippets and paste that on your page (or forward this site as a friendly reminder to someone who can do it for you).

What is this about, why are you always being hit with strikes?

The strikes have been there for a while now. YouTube just refuses to let me counter the one UMG filed and Constatin Film rejected my DMCA counter-notifcation because they think German law (which lacks any real sort of fair use) applies to an AMERICAN DMCA claim.

Also the RIAA (which includes UMG) is full of assholes who don’t give two fucks about Fair Use and are even going as far as to brainwash the artists they control the media rights of to be anti-new media rights, which may or may not include the ones that made the freaking MEGAUPLOAD song.
