Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book. Note that this book is already available on Project Gutenberg, and that we already have a bunch of his works..., I do not know if this is a copyright violation. See here for a discussion about how Disney apparently violated copyright in this case. --ThomasV 10:32, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I don't want to get into a long-winded copyright analysis here, but my first impression is that we can add anything that Kipling published before 1923; most of what was published between 1923 and 1936 will need to wait until 2007. That would only leave posthumous publications to be decided on. The problem with your outside link is that it is out of date, since it was written before the US Supreme Court ruled to support copyright extension. Eclecticology 18:10, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- all right, so Kipling seems to be a bad choice for having a party. --ThomasV 17:58, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
