Transactions of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina, No. 78, 1973. Printed by The R. L. Bryan Company, Columbia, SC The Isaac DuBose Family of South Carolina Part II, pages 84-92 By Leola Wilson Konopa [Mrs. Benedict Walter Konopa, Columbia, South Carolina.] [... continued] VIII Peter DuBose Peter Dubose, (First), was son of Isaac and Suzanne Couillandeau Dubose, and was born ca. 1705 and lived in Christ Church Parish. He married 1725/28 Magdalen (last name unknown), a granddaughter of André Rembert and is listed in his Will dated 1736 recorded in Charleston, South Carolina. In the Will she is listed as "Madelaine" and in a Memorial at the Archives in Columbia, South Carolina, of a conveyance of land of Peter Dubose, his wife is listed as "Magdalen." Peter Dubose also had other land granted him in the Province of Carolina, and by 1756 he is living in Prince Frederick Parish (Plat Vol. 6, p. 254, Archives, Columbia, S. C.) on Black River, bounded by Benjamin Marion with other sides vacant. The only known children of Peter Dubose, First, are Peter, Isaac, Sarah, and Andrew Dubose. Their records are: A. Peter Dubose, Sr., (Second), son of Peter Dubose, First, and Magdalen, was born ca. 1730/32 in the Province of Carolina in Christ Church Parish. He married ca. 1750 Sarah - last name unknown. Land Grants and Plats in Archives show he received land in 1769 on Back Swamp, near Lynches' Creek, Craven County, bounded on all sides by vacant land. Certified 11-20-1769. Later records show Peter DuBosq, living in Jacksonborough in 1779, where he purchased a house and a lot. The deed for this was lost and was re-done 1785 and shows Wm. Sanders sold to Capt. Peter Dubusque land in Jacksonborough, lot n. 5, on Main Street, being a corner lot with a dwelling house on it. This was about 1779. In 1785 Wm. Sanders confirms Title, and sale to Peter Dubosq. He stated that due to destructive wars it was, lost and destroyed. See MS Vol. M-6, 1794, p. 257, Charleston, conveyance dated 4-14-1785, recorded 3-2-1796 under the 1794 index date. In the "Journal of the Senate of South Carolina 1782", p. 5, note 1, the Masonic Lodge in Jacksonborough was where the House of Representatives sat, and the Senate sat in two rooms in the Tavern of Peter Dubose. They met in Dubose's Tavern enlarged by removal of a partition between two rooms. Later, in 1786, Pursuant to Act of General Assembly, passed 3-16-1783, the Commission of the Treasurer paid to Honorable Peter Dubusque money for damages done his house and Masonic Lodge in Jacksonborough. This was Oct. 29, 1786. Lambert Lanir, Attorney for Peter Dubosq, received payment for him, in Aug. 1788. It appears that Peter Dubose went to Georgia in 1782/4 to apply for land there on the basis of his American Revolutionary War service and thus the attorney handled his affairs in South Carolina. The Department of Archives of Georgia, in Atlanta, shows "Peter Dubosh - A Memorial from Peter Dubose setting forth that he in the year 1777 arrived in the State and on every emergency turned out with his seamen in defense of the same and prays he be allowed the usual quantity of land granted, and rights of Citizenship in the State of Georgia". The Commissioners gave him Citizenship and 575 acres of land. (See House Journal of Ga. 1785, p. 239). In the 1805 Land Lottery of Georgia, Peter Dubose, living in Jackson County, received 2 draws - both blank. Later he moved to Washington County, and from there to Baldwin County, where he died in 1822. His Will is recorded in Baldwin County, now Jones County, Georgia in the city of Milledgeville. This shows his children in South Carolina and Georgia. Will Book 1806-1832, p. 171, Milledgeville, Will dated 6-10-1821, proved 1-4-1822. His Will states "my wife Sarah, when we parted . . ." and mentions children Elizabeth, James, Amos, and Peter. It appears these were his wife and children he left in South Carolina. He states he had already given them something and now it is "one dollar exclusive of what I have already given," etc., and he left his property to his grand-children, the children of his son Peter Dubose. He did not mention his children in Georgia, however it is believed the children in Georgia were Sarah, Zachariah, William, Isaac, and John Dubose, and partial records have been found of these. Some of these and many of their descendants moved on west, to Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, while others remained in Georgia. Two grandsons of this Peter Dubose were already living in Georgia when he died. Children of Peter Dubose Sr., (Second) and Sarah Dubose were: 1. Elizabeth Dubose, married a Hodge. 2. James Dubose, married 7-14-1783 Elizabeth Hodge in South Carolina as shown in the Rev.

In 1810 Jeptha Dubose is on a list of jurors in Sumter County. In 1818 Jeptha Dubose with wife Sarah, sold land in Sumter County to Isaiah Johnson. Jeptha Dubose appears on the 1820, 1830 census records of Sumter, but in 1840 he is in Barbour Co., Alabama census as "J. Dubose" b. 1770/80.

Transactions of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina, No. 78, 1973. Printed by The R. L. Bryan Company, Columbia, SC The Isaac DuBose Family of South Carolina Part II, pages 80-84 By Leola Wilson Konopa [Mrs. Benedict Walter Konopa, Columbia, South Carolina.] [... continued from part I] When Prince Frederick parish was created in 1734/5 it began at the southernmost part of the plantation of John Dubose on Santee River. This was the plantation he sold in 1744 when he moved up into Darlington District on Lynches' Creek. He and his family owned land on both sides of the creek. Later Lynches' River became the boundary lines between Darlington and Sumter Counties, and in 1902 Lee County was formed. This accounts for records of the family being in all of these counties as well as in Charleston. Elias Dubose, son of John and Mary Whilden Dubose, was a very prominent man in Darlington District, and played an important part in its history. In the South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol. 3, p. 133, there is a list of the men who served in Elias Dubose's Company in the American Revolution. This includes Capt. Elias Dubose; Daniel Dubose, 1st. Lt.; Isaac Dubose, 2nd. Lt.; and the following Sergeants and Privates - Elias, Isaac, Daniel, Andrew, Joseph, Isaac, Elisha, and John Dubose, Senior. Note three Isaacs listed in this group. These were separate individuals, and not one and the same man. Many records have been confused of all of these listed above. Elias Dubose was elected a Representative in the South Carolina Legislature in 1784 with Col. Lemuel Benton, and others, for St David's Parish. In 1785 when the County Court Act was passed, Darlington County was formed, and Justices were appointed, including Elias Dubose. When a site for the Court House was to be chosen, Elias Dubose and Col. Benton, another justice, could not agree. As a compromise, a site nearly midway between the homes of these two men was chosen. Both Elias Dubose and Col. Lemuel Benton were prominent and influential men and though they often disagreed, they became close friends. Isaiah Dubose, a son of Elias Dubose, married Gilly Benton, daughter of Col. Lemuel Benton. Their children were: 1. Kimbrough Cassels Dubose, married Elizabeth Boykin Witherspoon. They moved to Birmingham, Alabama. Their children were: John W. Dubose; James H. Dubose; Nicholas William Dubose; F. Marion Dubose; L. Benton Dubose; Louisa Dubose; Rosa Dubose; Augusta Dubose (m. Miles Selden Miller); Edwin Dargan Dubose; Eugene Dubose; and Dell Dubose (m. Henry Page Burrows). 2. James Henry Dubose, who m. Hariet E. Pegues. They lived in Springville, in Darlington County, and later moved to Gallion, Hale County, Alabama, in 1833. Their children were: Christopher P.; Walter (m. Matilda Johnson); Isaiah (m. Adele Louise McRae); Eliza.; Caroline (m. John Turner); Sarah Evelyn (m. 1st. Lt. Col. James W. Bondurant, and m. 2nd. John G. Harvey); Kimbrough Dubose (m. Pauline B. McRae); Eugenia (m. A. A. Ravazeirs); Thomas; Alice (m. Thomas Walthall); Wm. T. (m. Myrtice Dubose); Henrietta; and Flora Dubose. 3. Sarah Thomas Dubose, b. 4-9-1821, d. 11-2-1871, married 1838, Dr. William Edwin Dargan. Their children were: George W. (m. Ida Hunter); W. Edwin (m. Mary B. Hart); John J.; Addie; and Dubose Dargan. 4. Henrietta Dubose, m. Jan. 1842 James W.

Their children were: Henrietta Blakney (m. Henry Dubose, son of Samuel W. Dubose); Mary; Louisa; and James Blakney. 6. Elizabeth Dubose, m. Robert E. Wilson of Lee County, South Carolina, in 1836. Their children were: Alice; Jesse; and others not known. 7. Hamilton Dubose. 8. Martha Dubose, died as an infant. 9.

Anne Baker Leland Bridges and Roy Williams III ST. JAMES SANTEE, PLANTATION PARISH, HISTORY AND RECORDS, 1685-1925 An original publication, 1997 xii, 541 pp., notes, illustrations, appendices, bibliography, index ISBN 0-87152-504-6 LC 96-43877 (x) $37.50 [1998 catalogue price] Isolated St. James Santee Parish has been eclipsed frequently in South Carolina history by both Charleston and Georgetown. Yet it is a vital historical link between the two and this oversight makes their history incomplete. Much of the wealth that built many of Charleston's buildings and institutions had its origins in the indigo, cotton, and rice culture of the St. James Santee Parish area - basically the area near McClellanville and Jamestown in South Carolina. Now Anne Baker Leland Bridges and Roy Williams III have collaborated in St. James Santee, Plantation Parish, History and Records 1685-1925, to acquaint the general reader of South Carolina history with the story of this unique parish. Settlement of the area began with the Huguenots who settled plantations along the Santee River in 1685 after fleeing religious persecution in France. This is the story of the planters at home and the story of their impact on the state and nation. In a well written and highly readable style, it "has the tight mixture of local interest and regional impact," according to Dr. Alexander Moore, former director of the South Carolina Historical Society. In 1706 St. James Santee Parish was incorporated into the Church of England and was the first parish organized outside of Charleston. The region reached its zenith after Jonathan Lucas built the first waterpowered rice mill c. 1787 at Peach Tree Plantation. This mill did for the rice culture what the cotton gin did for cotton. After the Civil War, St. James Santee's plantation world collapsed and the struggle of its inhabitants to survive was a poignant and tragic story. Bridges, a native of McClellanville, is a descendant of the earliest English and French Huguenot families in the Carolina Lowcountry. She founded the St. James Santee Parish Historical Society and has collected and transcribed historical documents about the area for the last twenty years. Williams is a descendant of early English settlers in both South and North Carolina. He is a recently retired high school history teacher and president of the St. James Santee Parish Historical Society. He and his wife reside on Sullivan's Island. Together, the two authors have produced a 541 page account of the land called "French Santee" which is "fascinating, penetrating, and well-documented," according to Arthur Manigault Wilcox, past-president of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina. It is arranged chronologically and begins with the Huguenot settlers in 1685 and ends in 1925. In between are chapters on the "Frontier Parish," the Revolutionary War, the hurricane of 1822, the rice-planting culture, the Civil War, the development of McClellanville as a village and the churches that sprang up there, and the devastating fires of plantation homes. The 335-page main text includes photographs of Charleston homes owned by parish residents, plantations, maps, churches, and famous residents. Many of the photographs and first-hand accounts in the form of letters have never been published before. Family names throughout the book are readily recognized today - such as Mazyck, Ravenel, Manigault, Allston, Bonneau, Huger, Doar, Morrison, Leland, McClellan, Gaillard, Seabrook, Guerry, Horry, Legare, Lofton, Lucas, Lynch, Pinckney, Rutledge, and Simons. The volume is meticulously indexed. Four appendices to the book include a list of the French and Swiss settlers to this region of South Carolina, the Parish Register of St. James Santee, 1758-1788, compiled by Mabel L. Webber, a list of previously unpublished Parish Records of St. James Santee, 1846-1921, and Cemetery Inscriptions from St. James Santee Parish Church.

A little bell went off in my head. Have you had much response? Let me give you a bit of what I have, in order to find which way the information should flow. Capt. Daniel DuBose (b.10/19/1737--d.1799) (twin of Capt. Elias DuBose), married, as his second wife, Mary Nettles (b.1760---d.1821), daughter of Zacharia Nettles and Lucy Bass. I am descended from this bunch through Margaret DuBose (b.ca 1785-90---d.1827), daughter of Daniel DuBose and Mary Nettles. The DuBose family had been in South Carolina for four generations , starting with Louis DuBose, the immigrant, and Daniel being the fourth generation. Daniel DuBose and Mary Nettles had six children that I'm aware of: Samuel, Elizabeth, Margaret, Mary, Martha, and Louise. Does this help at all? Or have you made progress beyond this point since you sent the above email? Please let me know. I'm always interested in finding new cousins. Kenneth Breeze breezes@ix.netcom.com

I am looking for a RACHEL DUBOIS or DEBOIS born about 1812. I believe she was born in Patterson, NJ. She married a Timothy Clark Axtell in 1830. Would anyone have any DUBOIS relatives in NJ around this time?

Subject: Re: Mill's Atlas frustration Resent-From: SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 10:10:32 -0500 From: Steven J. Coker Organization: http://members.tripod.com/~SCROOTS/index.html Mills' Atlas maps also show the names of many landowners marking plantation sites, home sites, taverns, businesses, etc. The names of several of my Coker, DuBose, Prater, Ingram, McIntosh, and other relatives are shown on several of these maps. We have confirmed the locations shown on the maps for some of these people using wills, land transactions, and other records. For examples, on Sumter District map are shown the names and plantation sites of my ancestor Whitley Coker as well as other relatives John Coker, Thomas Coker, Henry Coker, Zachariah DuBose, Benjamin Lavender, etc. On the Darlington District map we find sites annotated for my relatives and probable relatives of Ingram, Giles Carter, Seaborn DuBose, John DuBose, Daniel DuBose, and many others. I've personally examined the records of many of these people and confirmed that the locations shown by Mills were in fact their properties at around that time. Robert Mills produced the Atlas as a private subscription project. He edited and improved the earlier District Survey maps which were used as the underlying basis for the Atlas. Obviously he did not show the names of all persons living in each District on the Atlas Maps. But, he did indeed show the names of many, if not most, of the plantation owners and established family sites known to him. I suspect that he may have been most likely to show names of paid subscribers. But, from the large number of names shown and the consistently wide distribution of them, I doubt that he omitted names just because they were not subscribers. More likely, he included as many names as he could in hopes that having someone's name shown would entice that family to become a customer and purchase the atlas. The Atlas shows hundreds of names and locations including people, plantations, taverns, stores, towns, mills, ferries, bridges, fords, landings, Muster Houses, Meeting Houses, churches, battlegrounds, rivers, creeks, swamps, factories, roads, etc. It is also very useful to see not only the location of one's relatives, but the names and locations of their surrounding neighbors. This gives insight and clues on how to make better use of census data and other records. In short, Mills' Atlas is a "MUST SEE" for anyone researching South Carolina genealogy in the early 1800's.

The next three decades saw a new Confederate pension bill introduced at nearly every session of the Legislature. Residency requirements were added and adjusted, militia members and widows were declared eligible, various financial qualifications were added and changed, and the amount and method of distribution were changed many times. A Board of Commissioners consisting of three members was appointed under the first pension law and it remained essentially the same, despite changes in name and the inability of the legislature to settle on the identity of the third member. The Governor and Comptroller were members of the board from the beginning, although the third seat was passed at various times from the Adjutant General to the Secretary of State to the Attorney General to the Treasurer, back to the Attorney General, and again back to the Treasurer before finally stabilizing in 1915 as the Governor, Comptroller, and Treasurer. The clerical and day-to-day operations of administering the pension laws were carried out under the supervision of the Comptroller. The pension application files include both veterans' and widows' applications interfiled, although approved and denied claims are filed separately. The veteran's application generally includes his full name, date and place of birth, unit of service, date and place of enlistment, date and place of discharge, brief description of service and/or wounds, proof of service, place and length of residence in Florida, as well as other miscellaneous documentation. The widow's application is filed with that of her husband and includes her full name, date and place of marriage, date and place of her husband's death, her place and length of residence in Florida, and proof of her husband's service. Some early applications also include the widows' date and place of birth. Confederate pensions were awarded to residents of Florida regardless of the state in which their service was rendered. The index is arranged by application file number and includes the veteran's name, his unit of service, state of service (if other than Florida), widow's first and maiden name, county from which the application was filed, and the earliest year of application. Copies of the files are available from the Florida State Archives for a flat fee of $7.50 per file (veteran and widow are filed together.) Checks should be payable to the Department of State, and mailed to: The Florida State Archives, R. A. Gray Building, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0250.

Rose Terry's excerpt on 16 Nov 98 from R. Fellows Bailey book on Pre-Revolutionary Dutch Houses (publication date not given) gives a description of the so-called Perine House on Staten Island and indicates that the old part of this structure was probably built by Thomas Stillwell in 1680. The current owner, the Staten Island Historical Society, suggests in their publication that the original part of the house was built by Pierre Billiou in 1662 and that Thomas Stillwell, PB's son-in-law, built additions to that original building. I visited these buildings in April 1998 and found the curator, Lorraine D., most helpful. The old part is not "on view" regularly but the exterior appears to be in good repair and well maintained. The newer section is a private residence for the curator and not "on view" regularly either. There is a guest book with the names and addresses of Billeau genealogists recorded. Since Pierre Billeau's wife was Francoise DuBois, all of this is of interest to the DuBois genealogists too. This is the 3rd oldest building standing in New York City. Write them at the Staten Island Historical Society, 1476 Richmond Street (Perine House location), Dongan Hills, Staten Island, NY, USA 10306. cheers John A.

I enjoyed your interesting and amusing viewpoint. As I understand it what you have proposed is essentially: 1. Ignore the law. 2. Take the risk and violate the copyright. 3. Make everything you publish public domain. People ignore and violate laws everyday. They always have and probably always will. Guess that is why we need police, lawyers, and judges. Although the laws I posted are USA laws, most countries (even Canada) have similar laws and are signatory to the Berne Convention. Since I live in the USA and the Forum is based in the USA, I'm naturally most concerned with the laws in the USA. My intent in posting the Copyright topic in the Forum is not to act as policeman or judge for the internet. It is mainly the following. 1. I've been asked many times by various people about such copyright issues. By posting the information in the Forum archives, I hope to simplify responding to such inquiries by putting the information in the Forum and on the Forum web site's FAQ section. 2. As Forum Manager of several online services, I've been contacted by concerned copyright holders regarding postings of material from their works in the Forums. By posting the copyright information online I hope to be in a better position to defend myself should some zealous copyright holder attack me for the actions of one of our Forum participants. Probably the reason Librarians have to be more concerned than individuals is that someone with "deep pockets" is more likely to be sued than someone with little or no money. Many libraries and businesses have deeper pockets to pay with than most individuals. That would make them a more likely target for a lawsuit. I like your suggestion that everyone declare their writings as public domain. But, I doubt that everyone will follow your recommendation. Many will continue to copyright their works and seek to protect them from unauthorized use. The issue of copyright protection and how to honor copyrights on the Internet will not go away anytime soon. Steve Coker

As a Canadian and probably not significant enough to attract legal attention from USA copyright police I offer the following. If I do, I will deny everything! As an amateur genealogist and senior citizen, I offer the following sage comments to genealogists coping with copyright rules: 1. The chances that an amateur genealogist who is not operating "for profit" being charged for breach of any aspect of the copyright law (in any country) is so remote that these words are, in themselves, an excessive response to the issue. 2. Librarians have been "spooked" by the copyright law and should be avoided and thwarted when they impose silly and excessively rigid rules about photocopying so-called protected works. If you can cheat, do so. If you can't, break down and cry and tell a sad story to get around the copyright policeman, whoever he/she is. 3. The re-publication of material - for instance, on the web - may be a problem but time heals all hurts. If in doubt, publish it anyway and see what happens. What is the worst that can happen? You can always apologize in the face of threatened prosecution and remove the item from the web. (That would make a good story, crocodile tears and all!) Furthermore, genealogists are not usually in a hurry. We must leave something for our grandchildren to do. Let's not be perfectionists. Remember that even the fire in Dublin in 1922 has been surmounted in many cases by the discovery of alternative records of similar quality. 4. When and if you publish your family history print in a prominent place in the publication the following two statements: a/ I own copyright for the sole reason that I don't wish anyone else to get it, and b/ I encourage any and all readers to photocopy parts or the whole of this publication for their private use. I do not agree with any librarian who attempts to inhibit full or partial photocopying of this copyright work. The author does not expect any royalties from this work and wishes to encourage full and rapid dissemination of the information contained here by any means that readers are willing to pay for. My copyright does not exclude full copying. So there! Copyright police, listen up! (These statements appear in my three published genealogies.) (I also include a price and a telephone number so that readers will find it easier to move to a phone with their credit card than to a photocopier. Make it easy for people to buy your work and keep the price modest!) If I am letting the side down for profit oriented genealogists, I am sorry. Go make your profits elsewhere. Comments would be welcome. cheers John A.

Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1886) Extracts From: http://www.wipo.org/eng/general/copyrght/bern.htm The Convention, concluded in 1886, was revised at Paris in 1896 and at Berlin in 1908, completed at Berne in 1914, revised at Rome in 1928, at Brussels in 1948, at Stockholm in 1967 and at Paris in 1971, and was amended in 1979. The Convention rests on three basic principles and contains a series of provisions determining the minimum protection to be granted, as well as special provisions available to developing countries which want to make use of them. (1) The three basic principles are the following: (a) Works originating in one of the contracting States (that is, works the author of which is a national of such a State or works which were first published in such a State) must be given the same protection in each of the other contracting States as the latter grants to the works of its own nationals (principle of "national treatment"). [3] (b) Such protection must not be conditional upon compliance with any formality (principle of "automatic" protection). [3] (c) Such protection is independent of the existence of protection in the country of origin of the work (principle of the "independence" of protection). If, however, a contracting State provides for a longer term than the minimum prescribed by the Convention and the work ceases to be protected in the country of origin, protection may be denied once protection in the country of origin ceases. [3] (2) The minimum standards of protection relate to the works and rights to be protected, and the duration of the protection: (a) As to works, the protection must include "every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression" (Article 2(1) of the Convention). (b) Subject to certain permitted reservations, limitations or exceptions, the following are among the rights which must be recognized as exclusive rights of authorization: * the right to translate, * the right to make adaptations and arrangements of the work, * the right to perform in public dramatic, dramatico-musical and musical works, * the right to recite in public literary works, * the right to communicate to the public the performance of such works, * the right to broadcast (with the possibility of a contracting State to provide for a mere right to equitable remuneration instead of a right of authorization), * the right to make reproduction in any manner or form (with the possibility of a contracting State to permit, in certain special cases, reproduction without authorization provided that the reproduction does not conflict with the normal exploitation of the work and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author, and with the possibility of a contracting State to provide, in the case of sound recordings of musical works, for a right to equitable remuneration), * the right to use the work as a basis for an audiovisual work, and the right to reproduce, distribute, perform in public or communicate to the public that audiovisual work. [4] * The Convention also provides for "moral rights," that is, the right to claim authorship of the work and the right to object to any mutilation or deformation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the work which would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation. (c) As to the duration of protection, the general rule is that protection must be granted until the expiration of the 50th year after the author's death. There are, however, exceptions to this general rule. In the case of anonymous or pseudonymous works, the term of protection expires 50 years after the work has been lawfully made available to the public, except if the pseudonym leaves no doubt as to the author's identity or if the author discloses his identity during that period; in the latter case, the general rule applies. In the case of audiovisual (cinematographic) works, the minimum term of protection is 50 years after the making available of the work to the public ("release") or-failing such an event-from the creation of the work. In the case of works of applied art and photographic works, the minimum term is 25 years from the creation of such a work. [5] (3) Countries regarded as developing countries in conformity with the established practice of the General Assembly of the United Nations may, for certain works and under certain conditions, depart from these minimum standards of protection with regard to the right of translation and the right of reproduction. The Berne Union has an Assembly and an Executive Committee. Every country member of the Union which has adhered to at least the administrative and final provisions of the Stockholm Act is a member of the Assembly. The members of the Executive Committee are elected from among the members of the Union, except for Switzerland, which is a member ex officio. On January 1, 1997, the Executive Committee had 30 members. The establishment of the biennial program and budget of the International Bureau - as far as the Berne Union is concerned - is the task of its Assembly. _______________________ [1] It is to be noted that WTO Members, even if they are not party to the Berne Convention (e.g., Indonesia), must comply with the substantive law provisions of the Berne Convention, except that WTO Members not party to the Berne Convention are not bound by the moral rights provisions of the Berne Convention. [2] It is to be noted that developing and "transition" countries may, at least until 2000, delay the application of most of the obligations provided for in the TRIPS Agreement (Article 65). Naturally, States party to the Berne Convention cannot delay the application of their obligations provided for in the Berne Convention. [3] Under the TRIPS Agreement, the principles of national treatment, automatic protection and independence of protection also bind those WTO Members which are not party to the Berne Convention. In addition, the TRIPS Agreement imposes an obligation of "most-favored-nation treatment," under which advantages accorded by a WTO Member to the nationals of any other country must also be accorded to the nationals of all WTO Members. It is to be noted that the possibility of delayed application of the TRIPS Agreement mentioned above does not apply to national treatment and most-favored-treatment obligations. [4] Under the TRIPS Agreement, an exclusive right of rental must be recognized in respect of computer programs and, under certain conditions, audiovisual works. [5] Under the TRIPS Agreement, any term of protection which is calculated on a basis other than the life of a natural person, must be at least 50 years from the first authorized publication of the work, or — failing such an event — 50 years from the making of the work. However, this rule does not apply to photographic works, or works of applied art.
