File:Portrait photograph of Maya Angelou by Jimmy Ellis, April 25, 1978.webp

Summary[edit]

Licensing[edit]

The photo, created by a staff photographer working for The Tennessean, is published in The Tennessean (Nashville, Tennessee; April 26, 1978; Vol. 73, No. 18) without a copyright for the photo itself, nor for the column in which it appears, nor for the newspaper as a whole.

There are no copyright registrations relating to works published in The Tennessean in 1978.

A higher quality of the photo (see [2]) is used. However, out of an abundance of caution to avoid copyright infringement, the photo is cropped to only the parts shown in the newspaper mentioned above.

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.
