    1. [HEADLEY] Re: Copyright
    2. I apologize if I infringed on anyone's rights (copyright or otherwise) with my post from a copyrighted work. Blame it on my own ignorance. The book from which I quoted has been out of print for 40 years and the author deceased for nearly that long, so while that does not make it okay to violate copyright laws, this information is not readily available to researchers and I thought sharing it would be appropriate. I would not have posted info like this from any currently available published source. Again I apologize and assure you my heart was in the right place, even though my brain may have been on vacation! By the way, Peggy mentioned that the copyright laws do not apply prior to a date in the 1920s...I believe copyrights expire after 75 years if not renewed, so if this is the case then anything copyrighted before 1924 (and not copyright renewed) is now public domain.
