We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

368 To be sure, U.S. compliance with the relevant minimum standards under the Berne Convention arguably remains Imperfect In some respects, notwithstanding recent Congressional action rendering the renewals of pre-1978 copyrights automatic^ and restoring foreign copyrights that had suffered technical forfeiture.^ For example, U.S. treatment of anonymous or pseudonymous works by foreign authors may still fall short of the Convention standard when such works are not published promptly upon creation." Certain pre-1978 works by foreign authors may still obtain less than life plus fifty years of protection if publication occurs too early in relation to the author's death. ^ Moreover, the degree of U.S. compliance with the moral rights provisions of the Convention, though improved since 1989, still falls short of the standards that state practice generally accepts . ^ ^ See 17 U.S.C.
