- Inside Google Book Search: U.S. copyright renewal records available for download
If I handed you a book and asked whether it was in copyright or in the public domain, you'd probably turn to the copyright page first. Unfortunately, a copyright page can't answer that question definitively -- at best, it could tell you when the book in your hands was published, and who owned the rights to it at that time. Ownership can change, though: rights revert back to authors, and after enough time has passed, the book enters into the public domain, letting people copy and adapt it as they wish.

Interestingly, the front page of John McCain's primary web site lists a number of issues with brief comments on his position(s) but there is no mention of social security.

The posters here who have continued to spread the lie that Media Whore Number One was some sort of commendable, legitimate journalist would do well to go and take a look at that article.
F**k Linda Hirshman.
