I wonder whether anyone can confirm the copyright position relating to maps
in the USA.
One of our members claims that any map can be copied or digitised in the
States. We don't think that that this is true and believe this only applies
to maps produced by the government For other maps the we believe that the 75
year rule applies, as in the UK.
Our reader will not believe us! Can someone confirm our view, so we can put
our reader right?
