A copyright search of Texas Guns by Paul Lehman
In response to a request by a patron, a search of the copyright status for the book Texas Guns by Paul Lehman was conducted. This report discusses the steps taken and the information that was found during that investigation.
The first step that was taken was a thorough examination of the title page. The book Texas Guns by Paul Lehman uses both 1950 and 1952 for the copyright dates, so because of the date the copyright it was determined that it would have had to been renewed. Next, the title page also states that it formally appeared under the title “Range Justice”. Also Star Guidance, Inc. is used in the copyright notice and there is a note stating, “This book contains the full text and was written specially for Star Books”. All of this gives the impression that it was a work for hire.
The second step taken was to double-check how long it would take before the book to become public domain. The following information was found, “Works published between 1923 and 1963, when a copyright notice is attached, can have their copyright renewed for a total of 67 years beyond the date of publication. (However, if the copyright is not renewed or if the work originally had no official copyright notice, then the work is already in public domain.)” (Butler 20) Therefore, it was decided that the book it would have had to been renewed for the copyright to be still valid.
The third step involved figuring out when it would need to be renewed by to see if the online Copyright Card Catalog could be used for the search. This statement was found “Any work published or registered before January 1, 1964, must have been renewed by an application for registration in the 28th year following the original ...

Hutch, the main character of The Big Field, has played baseball all of his life. He has always played shortstop, the same position that his father dreamed of playing as a professional. “Hutch, had always thought of himself as the captain of any infield he’d ever been a part of” (Lupica 1). Hutch finds himself being demoted to second base because there is another player, Darryl, on his new team that is expected to go pro and also plays shortstop. Hutch struggles because he does not want to play second base and his father does not support him because he does not want baseball to break Hutch’s dreams like it did his own. Hutch is betrayed by his father and Darryl when he finds them practicing together. Hutch has to learn to adjust and eventually becomes friends with Darryl, the up and coming shortstop. He understands that if he wants to win, then he needs to work together with Darryl. His father also comes around and finally gives Hutch his approval. Students should read this book in a high school English classroom because it demonstrates how relationships can be difficult, but teamwork can help to solve many issues.
The climax of the story is when Miles is shot by the Bonewoman. The reader comes to realize that Miles’ choice to live life on the safe side was a mistake:
Dennis Covington writes about a unique method of worship—snake handling, in his memoir, Salvation on Sand Mountain. He begins as a journalist, looking in on this foreign way of life; however, as time progresses he increasing starts to feel a part of this lifestyle. As a result loses his journalistic approach, resulting in his memoir, detailing his own spiritual journey. Upon the conclusion of his stay in this world, Covington realizes the significance of this journey, and argues in his memoir that we cannot entirely know ourselves until we step outside of our comfort zone and separate ourselves from our norm.
As a socialistic society we live in we find ourselves in positions were conflicts arise between friends or family. 'The Sniper'; was written by Liam O ' Flaherty to express a subtle yet powerful opinion on such a conflict. With references this essay will analyse the short story bringing to light the structure used to contribute to the theme.

To begin with, the Copyright Ordinance inherited the spirit of the Statute of Anne that it recognized the copyright of owners and respect their originality to a very large extent. At the very beginning of the Text in the Statute, it mentioned that this law served to prevent the liberty of printing, without the consent of the author, to the detriment of him and his family (Patterson and Joyce, 2003). The provisions in subsequent chapters all overturned the tradition of monopoly of publishers (Deazley, 2004) by licensing to the author instead. This fundamental goal of the Statute can be still found in the Copyright Ordinance. Section 4 of the Ordinance is a highly in...

Tim O'Brien is confused about the Vietnam War. He is getting drafted into it, but is also protesting it. He gets to boot camp and finds it very difficult to know that he is going off to a country far away from home and fighting a war that he didn't believe was morally right. Before O'Brien gets to Vietnam he visits a military Chaplin about his problem with the war. "O'Brien I am really surprised to hear this. You're a good kid but you are betraying you country when you say these things"(60). This says a lot about O'Brien's views on the Vietnam War. In the reading of the book, If I Die in a Combat Zone, Tim O'Brien explains his struggles in boot camp and when he is a foot soldier in Vietnam.
On October 27,1998, the Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. At the time the European Union had adopted a directive requiring its states to establish the new copyright terms of the life of the author plus and additional seventy years. In order to keep the balance of payment the United States had to adjust the copyright terms. Otherwise under the “rule of shorter term,” the United States copyrights would not be protected in Europe past the expiration of the shorter U.S. term.
Usually when someone is murdered, people expect the murderer to feel culpable. This though, is not the case in war. When in war, a soldier is taught that the enemy deserves to die, for no other reason than that they are the nation’s enemy. When Tim O’Brien kills a man during the Vietnam War, he is shocked that the man is not the buff, wicked, and terrifying enemy he was expecting. This realization overwhelms him in guilt. O’Brien’s guilt has him so fixated on the life of his victim that his own presence in the story—as protagonist and narrator—fades to the black. Since he doesn’t use the first person to explain his guilt and confusion, he negotiates his feelings by operating in fantasy—by imagining an entire life for his victim, from his boyhood and his family to his feeling about the war and about the Americans. In The Man I Killed, Tim O’Brien explores the truth of The Vietnam War by vividly describing the dead body and the imagined life of the man he has killed to question the morality of killing in a war that seems to have no point to him.
The Statute of Anne (the first modern form of copyright law) was introduced after the printing press was invented. Before this time, books would have to be hand written and for this reason they were ve...
What should our goals be in life? Bill Strickland makes the point that no matter who you are you can do anything you put your mind too. In his book “Making the impossible possible” he explains his own struggle and how he made it through life to be able to help others. He explains his young childhood. He talks about how he had to live through riots and the racism. He talks about how he wanted to help people make their lives better. He explains his struggles with trying to maintain these buildings and how he made great connections. He tells about his love for pottery and his want to help others. His book was truly an inspiration and turned out to be more than I took his book for in the first few pages. His book made me think about my life and how I can relate to him.
