“Almost never can we find the author's legal heirs (or date of death to determine copyright expiration) … The real result is the stuff will remain hidden for another 80 years so as to be sure we're not violating copyright.” (Q28)
“treat online publication as a risk mgmt problem …. if we try to clear every asset before making it available, we will fail our users.” (Q36)
