As I already told you, hosting material subject to copyright everywhere in
the world except in the USA is a mistake. The fact some texts by Andr? Gide
are PD-US because written before 1923 won't impress Gide's heirs. Foundation
has certainly better things to do with its money than spending it in lost
cases.

PS: and please please stop telling that the fact the servers are in the USA
is good enough to strictly care only for the US law - with the Yahoo case,
you should know better.  Foundation could be sued right here in Paris and
should spend money on explaining how it comes that its site, reachable in
France, offers copyrighted material for free.

I was under the impression that the U.S. had treaties with France and in
some circumstances will honour their laws. Is this the case or not?
