Memorial Day thought: Free 1984 in Vietnam?
An Australian company owns University Viet Nam and reportedly is offering an electronic library of “500 data sources and 15,000 e-books.” Most likely, I suspect, the library is using public domain collections. And since Aussie copyright terms are still under debate, at least as far as I know, it’s very possible that 1984 is among the unencumbered books. What’s more, I see that Vietnam is itself among the life+50 countries, and George Orwell died more than half a century ago. Just something I can’t help thinking about this Memorial Day, here in the Soviet Union of copyright law.
