Summary[edit]

Licensing[edit]

The photo is published in multiple newspapers before March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice for the photo itself nor for the newspaper as a whole, and without registration within 5 years:

• L. A. Weekly (September 8, 1988)

Search term "Los Angeles Weekly" shows copyright registrations for only 1978 and 1979.

Search term "LA Weekly" shows copyright registrations for 1988. However, none of them are related to the September 8, 1988 issue.

Search term "L A Weekly" shows only one entry for 1988, with copyright number CSN0011833 (10 characters long). Registration numbers must be 12 characters long, so the entry is not a copyright registration itself. The entry does not contain any registrations for any issues.

• Sunday Tribune, Oakland, California (March 13, 1988)

There are no copyright registrations relating to the Sunday Tribune, Oakland, California.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice, and its copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years. Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is copyrighted in the countries or areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 pma), Mainland China (50 pma, not Hong Kong or Macau), Germany (70 pma), Mexico (100 pma), Switzerland (70 pma), and other countries with individual treaties.
