+
+Richard Nixon
+
+
+By the President:  HENRY A. KISSINGER, Secretary of State
+
+The Contracting States.
+
+Moved by the desire to ensure in all countries copyright protection of
+literary, scientific and artistic works,
+
+Convinced that a system of copyright protection appropriate to all
+nations of the world and expressed in a universal convention,
+additional to, and without impairing international systems already in
+force, will ensure respect for the rights of the individual and
+encourage the development of literature, the sciences and the arts,
+
+Persuaded that such a universal copyright system will facilitate a
+wider dissemination of works of the human mind and increase
+international understanding,
+
+Have resolved to revise the Universal Copyright Convention as signed at
+Geneva on 6 September 1952 (hereinafter called "the 1952 Convention"),
+and consequently,
+
+Have agreed as follows:
+
+ARTICLE I
+
+Each Contracting State undertakes to provide for the adequate and
+effective protection of the rights of authors and other copyright
+proprietors in literary, scientific and artistic works, including
+writings, musical, dramatic and cinematographic works, and paintings,
+engravings and sculpture.
+
+ARTICLE II
+
+1. Published works of nationals of any Contracting State and works
+first published in that State shall enjoy in each other Contracting
+State the same protection as that other State accords to works of its
+nationals first published in its own territory, as well as the
+protection specially granted by this Convention.
+
+2. Unpublished works of nationals of each Contracting State shall enjoy
+in each other Contracting State the same protection as that other State
+accords to unpublished works of its own nationals, as well as the
+protection specially granted by this Convention.
+
+3. For the purposed of this Convention any Contracting State may, by
+domestic legislation, assimilate to its own nationals any person
+domiciled in that State.
+
+ARTICLE III
+
+1. Any Contracting State which, under its domestic law, requires as a
+condition of copyright, compliance with formalities such as deposit,
+registration, notice notarial certificates, payment of fees or
+manufacture or publication in that Contracting State, shall regard
+these requirements as satisfied with respect to all works protected in
+accordance with this Convention and first published outside its
+territory and the author of which is not one of its nationals, if from
+the time of the first publication all the copies of the work published
+with the authority of the author or other copyright proprietor bear the
+symbol of a lower case "c" inside of a circle accompanied by the name
+of the copyright proprietor and the year of first publication placed in
+such manner and location as to give reasonable notice of claim of
+copyright.
+
+2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not preclude any Contracting
+State from requiring formalities or other conditions for the
+acquisition and enjoyment of copyright in respect of works first
+published in its territory or works of its nationals wherever published.
+
+3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not preclude any Contracting
+State from providing that a person seeking judicial relief must, in
+bringing the action, comply with procedural requirements, such as that
+the complainant must appear through domestic counsel or that the
+complainant must deposit with the court or an administrative office, or
+both, a copy of the work involved in the litigation; provided that
+failure to comply with such requirements shall not affect the validity
+of the copyright, nor shall any such requirement be imposed upon a
+national of another Contracting State if such requirement is not
+imposed on nationals of the State in which protection is claimed.
+
+4. In each Contracting State there shall be legal means of protecting
+without formalities the unpublished work of nationals of other
+Contracting States.
+
+5. If a Contracting State grants protection for more than one term of
+copyright and the first term is for a period longer than one of the
+minimum periods prescribed in Article IV, such State shall not be
+required to comply with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article
+in respect of the second or any subsequent term of copyright.
+
+ARTICLE IV
+
+1. The duration of protection of a work shall be governed, in
+accordance with the provisions of Article II and this Article, by the
+law of the Contracting State in which protection is claimed.
+
+2. (a) The term of protection for works protected under this Convention
+shall not be less that the life of the author and twenty-five years
+after his death.  However, any Contracting State which, on the
+effective date of this Convention in that State, has limited this term
+for certain classes of works to a period computed from this first
+publication of the work, shall be entitled to maintain these exceptions
+and to extend them to other classes of works.  For all these classes
+the term of protection shall not be less than twenty-five years from
+the date of first publication.
+
+(b) Any Contracting State which, upon the effective date of this
+Convention in that State, does not compute the term of protection upon
+the basis of the life of the author, shall be entitled to compute the
+term of protection from the date of the first publication of the work
+or from its registration prior to publication, as the case may be,
+provided the term of protection shall not be less than twenty-five
+years from the date of first publication or from its registration prior
+to publication, as the case may be.
+
+(c) If the legislation of a Contracting State grants two or more
+successive terms of protection, the duration of the first term shall
+not be less than one of the minimum periods specified in subparagraphs
+(a) and (b).
+
+3. The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply to photographic works
+or to works of applied art; provided, however, that the term of
+protection in those Contracting States which protect photographic
+works, or works of applied art in so far as they are protected as
+artistic works, shall not be less than ten years for each of said
+classes of works.
+
+4. (a) No Contracting State shall be obliged to grant protection to a
+work for a period longer than that fixed for the class of works to
+which the work in question belongs, in the case of unpublished works by
+the law of the Contracting State of which the author is a national, and
+in the case of published works by the law of the Contracting State in
+which the work has been first published.
+
+(b) For the purposes of the application of subparagraph (a), if the law
+of any Contracting State grants two or more successive terms of
+protection, the period of protection of that State shall be considered
+to be the aggregate of those terms.  However, if a specified work is
+not protected by such State during the second or any subsequent term
+for any reason, the other Contracting States shall not be obliged to
+protect it during the second or any subsequent term.
+
+5. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, the work of a
+national of a Contracting State, first published in a non-Contracting
+State, shall be treated as though first published in the Contracting
+State of which the author is a national.
+
+6. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, in case of
+simultaneous publication in two or more Contracting States, the work
+shall be treated as though first published in the State which affords
+the shortest term; any work published in two or more Contracting States
+within thirty days of its first publication shall be considered as
+having been published simultaneously in said Contracting States.
+
+ARTICLE IVbis
+
+1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the basic rights
+ensuring the author's economic interests, including the exclusive right
+to authorize reproduction by any means, public performance and
+broadcasting.  The provisions of this Article shall extend to works
+protected under this Convention either in their original form or in any
+form recognizably derived from the original.
+
+2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic legislation,
+make exceptions that do not conflict with the spirit and provisions of
+this Convention, to the rights mentioned in paragraph 1 of this
+Article.  Any State whose legislation so provides, shall nevertheless
+accord a reasonable degree of effective protection to each of the
+rights to which exception has been made.
+
+ARTICLE V
+
+1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the exclusive
+right of the author to make, publish and authorize the making and
+publication of translations of works protected under this Convention.
+
+2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic legislation,
+restrict the right of translation of writings, but only subject to the
+following provisions:
+
+(a) If, after the expiration of a period of seven years from the date
+of the first publication of a writing, a translation of such writing
+has not been published in a language in general use in the Contracting
+State, by the owner of the right of translation or with his
+authorization, any national of such Contracting State may obtain a
+non-exclusive licence from the competent authority thereof to translate
+the work into that language and publish the work so translated.
+
+(b) Such national shall in accordance with the procedure of the State
+concerned, establish either that he has requested, and been denied,
+authorization by the proprietor of the right to make and publish the
+translation, or that, after due diligence on his part, he was unable to
+find the owner of the right.  A licence may also be granted on the same
+conditions if all previous editions of a translation in a language in
+general use in the Contracting State are out of print.
+
+(c) If the owner of the right of translation cannot be found, then the
+applicant for a licence shall send copies of his application to the
+publisher whose name appears on the work and, if the nationality of the
+owner of the right of translation is known, to the diplomatic or
+consular representative of the State of which such owner is a national,
+or to the organization which may have been designated by the government
+of that State.  The licence shall not be granted before the expiration
+of a period of two months from the date of the dispatch of the copies
+of the application.
+
+(d) Due provision shall be made by domestic legislation to ensure to
+the owner of the right of translation a compensation which is just and
+conforms to international standards, to ensure payment and transmittal
+of such compensation, and to ensure a correct translation of the work.
+
+(e) The original title and the name of the author of the work shall be
+printed on all copies of the published translation.  The licence shall
+be valid only for publication of the translation in the territory of
+the Contracting State where it has been applied for.  Copies so
+published may be imported and sold in another Contracting State if a
+language in general use in such other State is the same language as
+that into which the work has been so translated, and if the domestic
+law in such other State makes provision for such licenses and does not
+prohibit such importation and sale.  Where the foregoing conditions do
+not exist, the importation and sale of such copies in a Contracting
+State shall be governed by its domestic law and its agreements.  The
+licence shall not be transferred by the licensee.
+
+(f) The licence shall not be granted when the author has withdrawn from
+circulation all copies of the work.
+
+ARTICLE Vbis
+
+1. Any Contracting State regarded as a developing country in conformity
+with the established practice of the General Assembly of the United
+Nations may, by a notification deposited with the Director-General of
+the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
+(hereinafter called "the Director-General") at the time of its
+ratification, acceptance or accession or thereafter, avail itself of
+any or all of the exceptions provided for in Articles Vter and Vquater.
+
+2. Any such notification shall be effective for ten years from the date
+of coming into force of this Convention, or for such part of that
+ten-year period as remains at the date of deposit of the notification,
+and may be renewed in whole or in part for further periods of ten years
+each if, not more than fifteen or less than three months before the
+expiration of the relevant ten-year period, the contracting State
+deposits a further notification with the Director-General.  Initial
+notifications may also be made during these further periods of ten
+years in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
+
+3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, a Contracting State
+that has ceased to be regarded as a developing country as referred to
+in paragraph 1 shall no longer be entitled to renew its notification
+made under the provisions of paragraph 1 or 2, and whether or not it
+formally withdraws the notification such State shall be precluded from
+availing itself of the exceptions provided for in Articles Vter and
+Vquater at the end of the current ten-year period, or at the end of
+three years after it has ceased to be regarded as a developing country,
+whichever period expires later.
+
+4. Any copies of a work already made under the exceptions provided for
+in Articles Vter and Vquater may continue to be distributed after the
+expiration of the period for which notifications under this Article
+were effective until their stock is exhausted.
+
+5. Any Contracting State that has deposited a notification in
+accordance with Article XIII with respect to the application of this
+Convention to a particular country or territory, the situation of which
+can be regarded as analogous to that of the States referred to in
+paragraph 1 of this Article, may also deposit notifications and renew
+them in accordance with the provisions of this Article with respect to
+any such country or territory.  During the effective period of such
+notifications, the provisions of Articles Vter and Vquater may be
+applied with respect to such country or territory.  The sending of
+copies from the country or territory to the Contracting State shall be
+considered as export within the meaning of Articles Vter and Vquater.
+
+
+ARTICLE Vter
+
+1. (a) Any Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies may
+substitute for the period of seven years provided for in Article V(2) a
+period of three years or any longer period prescribed by its
+legislation. However, in the case of a translation into a language not
+in general use in one or more developed countries that are party to
+this Convention or only the 1952 Convention, the period shall be one
+year instead of three.
+
+(b) A Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies may, with the
+unanimous agreement of the developed countries party to this Convention
+or only the 1952 Convention and in which the same language is in
+general use, substitute, in the case of translation into that language,
+for the period of three years provided for in sub-paragraph (a) another
+period as determined be such agreement but not shorter than one year.
+However, this sub-paragraph shall not apply where the language in
+question is English, French or Spanish.  Notification of any such
+agreement shall be made to the Director-General.
+
+(c) The licence may only be granted if the applicant, in accordance
+with the procedure of the State concerned, establishes either that he
+has requested, and been denied, authorization by the owner of the right
+of translation, or that, after due diligence on his part, he was unable
+to find the owner of the right.  At the same time as he makes his
+request he shall inform either the International Copyright Information
+Centre established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
+Cultural Organization or any national or regional information centre
+which may have been designated in a notification to that effect
+deposited with the Director-General by the government of the State in
+which the publisher is believed to have his principal place of business.
+
+(d) If the owner of the right of translation cannot be found, the
+applicant for a licence shall send, by registered airmail, copies of
+his application to the publisher whose name appears on the work and to
+any national or regional information centre as mentioned in
+sub-paragraph (c). If no such centre is notified he shall also send a
+copy to the international copyright information centre established by
+the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
+
+2. (a) Licenses obtainable after three years shall not be granted under
+this Article until a further period of six months has elapsed and
+licenses obtainable after one year until a further period of nine
+months has elapsed.  The further period shall begin either from the
+date of the request for permission to translate mentioned in paragraph
+1 (c) or, if the identity or address of the owner of the right of
+translation is not known, from the date of dispatch of the copies of
+the application for a licence mentioned in paragraph 1(d).
+
+(b) Licenses shall not be granted if a translation has been published
+by the owner of the right of translation or with his authorization
+during the said period of six or nine months.
+
+3. Any licence under this Article shall be granted only for the purpose
+of teaching, scholarship or research.
+
+4. (a) Any licence granted under this Article shall not extend to the
+export of copies and shall be valid only for publication in the
+territory of the Contracting State where it has been applied for.
+
+(b) Any copy published in accordance with a licence granted under this
+Article shall bear a notice in the appropriate language stating that
+the copy is available for distribution only in the Contracting State
+Granting the licence.  If the writing bears the notice specified in
+Article III (1) the copies shall bear the same notice.
+
+(c) The prohibition of export provided for in sub-paragraph (a) shall
+not apply where a governmental or other public entity of a State which
+has granted a licence under this Article to translate a work into a
+language other than English, French or Spanish sends copies of a
+translation prepared under such licence to another country if:
+
+(i) the recipients are individuals who are nationals of the Contracting
+State granting the licence, or organizations grouping such individuals;
+
+(ii) the copies are to be used only for the purpose of teaching,
+scholarship or research;
+
+(iii) the sending of the copies and their subsequent distribution to
+recipients is without the object of commercial purpose; and
+
+(iv) the country to which the copies have been sent has agreed with the
+Contracting State to allow the receipt, distribution or both and the
+Director-General has been notified of such agreement by any one of the
+governments which have concluded it.
+
+5. Due provision shall be made at the national level to ensure:
+
+(a) that the licence provides for just compensation that is consistent
+with standards of royalties normally operating in the case of licenses
+freely negotiated between persons in the two countries concerned; and
+
+(b) payment and transmittal of the compensation; however, should
+national currency regulations intervene, the competent authority shall
+make all efforts, by the use of international machinery, to ensure
+transmittal in internationally convertible currency or its equivalent.
+
+6. Any licence granted by a Contracting State under this Article shall
+terminate if a translation of the work in the same language with
+substantially the same content as the edition in respect of which the
+licence was granted is published in the said State by the owner of the
+right of translation or with his authorization, at a price reasonably
+related to that normally charged in the same State for comparable
+works.  Any copies already made before the licence is terminated may
+continue to be distributed until their stock is exhausted.
+
+7.  For works which are composed mainly of illustrations a licence to
+translate the text and to reproduce the illustrations may be granted
+only if the conditions of Article Vquater are also fulfilled.
+
+8. (a) A licence to translate a work protected under this Convention,
+published in printed or analogous forms of reproduction, may also be
+granted to a broadcasting organization having its headquarters in a
+Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies, upon an
+application made in that State by the said organization under the
+following conditions:
+
+(i) the translation is made from a copy made and acquired in accordance
+with the laws of the Contracting State;
+
+(ii) the translation is for use only in broadcasts intended exclusively
+for teaching or for the dissemination of the results of specialized
+technical or scientific research to experts in a particular profession;
+
+(iii) the translation is used exclusively for the purposes set out in
+condition (ii), through broadcasts lawfully made which are intended for
+recipients on the territory of the Contracting State, including
+broadcasts made through the medium of sound or visual recordings
+lawfully and exclusively made for the purpose of such broadcasts;
+
+(iv) sound or visual recordings of the translation may be exchanged
+only between broadcasting organizations having their headquarters in
+the Contracting State granting the licence; and
+
+(v) all uses made of the translation are without any commercial
+purpose.
+
+(b) Provided all of the criteria and conditions set out in subparagraph
+(a) are met, a licence may also be granted to a broadcasting
+organization to translate any text incorporated in an audio-visual
+fixation which was itself prepared and published for the sole purpose
+of being used in connexion with systematic instructional activities.
+
+(c) Subject to sub-paragraphs (a) and (b), the other provisions of this
+Article shall apply to the grant and exercise of the licence.
+
+9. Subject to the provisions of this Article, any licence granted under
+this Article shall be governed by the provisions of Article V, and
+shall continue to be governed by the provisions of Article V and of
+this Article, even after the seven-year period provided for in Article
+V (2) has expired.  However, after the said period has expired, the
+licensee shall be free to request that the said licence be replaced by
+a new licence governed exclusively by the provisions of Article V.
+
+ARTICLE Vquater
+
+1. Any Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies may adopt
+the following provisions:
+
+(a) If, after the expiration of (i) the relevant period specified in
+sub-paragraph (c) commencing from the date of first publication of a
+particular edition of a literary, scientific or artistic work referred
+to in paragraph 3, or (ii) any longer period determined by national
+legislation of the State, copies of such edition have not been
+distributed in that State to the general public or in connexion with
+systematic instructional activities at a price reasonably related to
+that normally charged in the State for comparable works, by the owner
+of the right of reproduction or with his authorization, any national of
+such State may obtain a non-exclusive licence from the competent
+authority to publish such edition at that or a lower price for use in
+connexion with systematic instructional activities.  The licence may
+only be granted if such national, in accordance with the procedure of
+the State concerned, established either that he has requested, and been
+denied, authorization by the proprietor of the right to publish such
+work, or that, after due diligence on his part, he was unable to find
+the owner of the right.  At the same time as he makes his request he
+shall inform either the international copyright information centre
+established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
+Organization or any national or regional information centre referred to
+in sub-paragraph (d).
+
+(b) A licence may also be granted on the same conditions if, for a
+period of six months, no authorized copies of the edition in question
+have been on sale in the State concerned to the general public or in
+connexion with systematic instructional activities at a price
+reasonably related to that normally charged in the State for comparable
+works.
+
+(c) The period referred to in sub-paragraph (a) shall be five years
+except that:
+
+(i) for works of the natural and physical sciences, including
+mathematics, and of technology, the period shall be three years;
+
+(ii) for works of fiction, poetry, drama and music, and for art books,
+the period shall be seven years.
+
+(d) If the owner of the right of reproduction cannot be found, the
+applicant for a licence shall send, by registered air mail, copies of
+his application to the publisher whose name appears on the work and to
+any national or regional information centre identified as such in a
+notification deposited with the Director-General by the State in which
+the publisher is believed to have his principal place of business.  In
+the absence of any such notification, he shall also send a copy to the
+international copyright information centre established by the United
+Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization.  The licence
+shall not be granted before the expiration of a period of three months
+from the date of dispatch of the copies of the application.
+
+(e) Licenses obtainable after three years shall not be granted under
+this Article:
+
+(i) until a period of six months has elapsed from the date of the
+request for permission referred to in sub-paragraph (a) or, if the
+identity or address of the owner of the right of reproduction is
+unknown, from the date of the dispatch of the copies of the application
+for a licence referred to in sub-paragraph (d);
+
+(ii) if any such distribution of copies of the edition as is mentioned
+in sub-paragraph (a) has taken place during that period.
+
+(f) The name of the author and the title of the particular edition of
+the work shall be printed on all copies of the published reproduction.
+The licence shall not extend to the export of copies and shall be valid
+only for publication in the territory of the Contracting State where it
+has been applied for.  The licence shall not be transferable by the
+licensee.
+
+(g) Due provision shall be made by domestic legislation to ensure an
+accurate reproduction of the particular edition in question.
+
+(h) A licence to reproduce and publish a translation of a work shall
+not be granted under this Article in the following cases:
+

+of translation or with his authorization;
+
+(ii) where the translation is not in a language in general use in the
+State with power to grant the licence.
+
+2. The exceptions provided for in paragraph 1 are subject to the
+following additional provisions:
+
+(a) Any copy published in accordance with a licence granted under this
+Article shall bear a notice in the appropriate language stating that
+the copy is available for distribution only in the Contracting State to
+which the said licence applies.  If the edition bears the notice
+specified in Article III (1), the copies shall bear the same notice.
+

+Desiring to reinforce their mutual relations on the basis of the said

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance

+
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.  To be sure you have an

+in the first week of the next month.  Since our ftp program has
+a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
+look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
+new copy has at least one byte more or less.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar, then we produce 2
+million dollars per hour this year we, will have to do four text
+files per month:  thus upping our productivity from one million.
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by the December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by the end
+of the year 2001.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here?  You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault.  So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you.  It also tells you how
+you can distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement.  If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from.  If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-
+tm etexts, is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor
+Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association at
+Illinois Benedictine College (the "Project").  Among other
+things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the Project's "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works.  Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects".  Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] the Project (and any other party you may receive this
+etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from.  If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy.  If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS".  NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold the Project, its directors,
+officers, members and agents harmless from all liability, cost
+and expense, including legal fees, that arise directly or
+indirectly from any of the following that you do or cause:
+[1] distribution of this etext, [2] alteration, modification,
+or addition to the etext, or [3] any Defect.
+
+DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
+You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by
+disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
+"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
+or:
+
+[1]  Only give exact copies of it.  Among other things, this
+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word pro-
+     cessing or hypertext software, but only so long as
+     *EITHER*:
+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the
+          author, and additional characters may be used to
+          indicate hypertext links; OR
+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
+          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
+          form by the program that displays the etext (as is
+          the case, for instance, with most word processors);
+          OR
+
+     [*]  You provide, or agree to also provide on request at
+          no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the
+          etext in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC
+          or other equivalent proprietary form).
+
+[2]  Honor the etext refund and replacement provisions of this
+     "Small Print!" statement.
+
+[3]  Pay a trademark license fee to the Project of 20% of the
+     net profits you derive calculated using the method you
+     already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  If you
+     don't derive profits, no royalty is due.  Royalties are
+     payable to "Project Gutenberg Association / Illinois
+     Benedictine College" within the 60 days following each
+     date you prepare (or were legally required to prepare)
+     your annual (or equivalent periodic) tax return.
+
+WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
+The Project gratefully accepts contributions in money, time,
+scanning machines, OCR software, public domain etexts, royalty
+free copyright licenses, and every other sort of contribution
+you can think of.  Money should be paid to "Project Gutenberg
+Association / Illinois Benedictine College".

+A PROCLAMATION
+
+CONSIDERING THAT:

+The Universal Copyright Convention as revised at Paris on July 
+24, 1971, together with two related protocols, the text of which, as

+together with the two related protocols;
+
+The President of the United States of America ratified the 
+Convention as revised, together with the two related protocols on

+1972, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article VIII of the Convention 
+as revised;
+
+It is provided in paragraph 1 of Article IX of the Convention as

+twelve instruments of ratification, acceptance or accession;
+
+It is provided in paragraph 2(b) of each of the protocols that it

+America and by the citizens of the United States of America and all other
+persons subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
+
+IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have signed this proclamation 
+and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
+
+DONE at the city of Washington this eighteenth day of July in the 
+year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred seventy-four and of 
+the independence of [SEAL] the United States of America the one 
+hundred ninety-ninth.
+
+Richard Nixon
+
+
+By the President:  HENRY A. KISSINGER, Secretary of State
+
+The Contracting States.
+
+Moved by the desire to ensure in all countries copyright 
+protection of literary, scientific and artistic works,
+
+Convinced that a system of copyright protection appropriate to 
+all nations of the world and expressed in a 
+universal convention,  additional to, and without impairing 
+international systems already in force, will ensure respect for the rights 
+of the individual and encourage the development of literature, the 
+sciences and the arts,
+
+Persuaded that such a universal copyright system will facilitate 
+a wider dissemination of works of the human mind and increase 
+international understanding,
+
+Have resolved to revise the Universal Copyright Convention as 
+signed at Geneva on 6 September 1952 (hereinafter called "the 1952 
+Convention"), and consequently,
+
+Have agreed as follows:
+
+ARTICLE I
+
+Each Contracting State undertakes to provide for the adequate 
+and effective protection of the rights of authors and other copyright 
+proprietors in literary, scientific and artistic works, including writings, 
+musical, dramatic and cinematographic works, and paintings, 
+engravings and sculpture.
+
+ARTICLE II
+
+1. Published works of nationals of any Contracting State and 
+works first published in that State shall enjoy in each other 
+Contracting State the same protection as that other State accords to 
+works of its nationals first published in its own territory, as well as the 
+protection specially granted by this Convention.
+
+2. Unpublished works of nationals of each Contracting State 
+shall enjoy in each other Contracting State the same protection as that 
+other State accords to unpublished works of its own nationals, as well 
+as the protection specially granted by this Convention.
+
+3. For the purposed of this Convention any Contracting State 
+may, by  domestic legislation, assimilate to its own nationals any 
+person domiciled in that State.
+
+ARTICLE III
+
+1. Any Contracting State which, under its domestic law, requires 
+as a  condition of copyright, compliance with formalities such as 
+deposit, registration, notice notarial certificates, payment of fees or 
+manufacture or publication in that Contracting State, shall regard 
+these requirements as satisfied with respect to all works protected in 
+accordance with this Convention and first published outside its 
+territory and the author of which is not one of its nationals, if from the 
+time of the first publication all the copies of the work published with 
+the authority of the author or other copyright proprietor bear the 
+symbol of a lower case "c" inside of a circle accompanied by the name of 
+the copyright proprietor and the year of first publication placed in 
+such manner and location as to give reasonable notice of claim of 
+copyright.
+
+2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not preclude any 
+Contracting State from requiring formalities or other conditions for the 
+acquisition and enjoyment of copyright in respect of works first 
+published in its territory or works of its nationals wherever published.
+
+3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not preclude any 
+Contracting State from providing that a person seeking judicial relief 
+must, in bringing the action, comply with procedural requirements, such 
+as that the complainant must appear through domestic counsel or that 
+the complainant must deposit with the court or an administrative 
+office, or both, a copy of the work involved in the litigation; provided 
+that failure to comply with such requirements shall not affect the 
+validity of the copyright, nor shall any such requirement be imposed 
+upon a national of another Contracting State if such requirement is not 
+imposed on nationals of the State in which protection is claimed.
+
+4. In each Contracting State there shall be legal means of 
+protecting without formalities the unpublished work of nationals of 
+other Contracting States.
+
+5. If a Contracting State grants protection for more than one term 
+of  copyright and the first term is for a period longer than one of the 
+minimum periods prescribed in Article IV, such State shall not be 
+required to comply with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article in 
+respect of the second or any subsequent term of copyright.
+
+ARTICLE IV
+
+1. The duration of protection of a work shall be governed, in 
+accordance with the provisions of Article II and this Article, by the 
+law of the Contracting State in which protection is claimed.
+
+2. (a) The term of protection for works protected under this 
+Convention shall not be less that the life of the author and twenty-
+five years after his death.  However, any Contracting State which, 
+on the effective date of this Convention in that State, has limited 
+this term for certain classes of works to a period computed from this 
+first publication of the work, shall be entitled to maintain these 
+exceptions and to extend them to other classes of works.  For all 
+these classes the term of protection shall not be less than twenty-
+five years from the date of first publication.
+
+(b) Any Contracting State which, upon the effective date of 
+this Convention in that State, does not compute the term of 
+protection upon the basis of the life of the author, shall be entitled 
+to compute the term of protection from the date of the first 
+publication of the work or from its registration prior to publication, 
+as the case may be, provided the term of protection shall not be less 
+than twenty-five years from the date of first publication or from its 
+registration prior to publication, as the case may be.
+
+(c) If the legislation of a Contracting State grants two or 
+more successive terms of protection, the duration of the first term 
+shall not be less than one of the minimum periods specified in 
+subparagraphs (a) and (b).
+
+3. The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply to 
+photographic works or to works of applied art; provided, however, 
+that the term of protection in those Contracting States which protect 
+photographic works, or works of applied art in so far as they are 
+protected as artistic works, shall not be less than ten years for each of 
+said classes of works.
+
+4. (a) No Contracting State shall be obliged to grant 
+protection to a  work for a period longer than that fixed for the 
+class of works to which the work in question belongs, in the case 
+of unpublished works by the law of the Contracting State of 
+which the author is a national, and in the case of published 
+works by the law of the Contracting State in which the work 
+has been first published.
+
+(b) For the purposes of the application of subparagraph (a), 
+if the law of any Contracting State grants two or more 
+successive terms of protection, the period of protection of that 
+State shall be considered to be the aggregate of those terms.  
+However, if a specified work is not protected by such State 
+during the second or any subsequent term for any reason, the 
+other Contracting States shall not be obliged to protect it during 
+the second or any subsequent term.
+
+5. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, the work 
+of a national of a Contracting State, first published in a non-
+Contracting State, shall be treated as though first published in the 
+Contracting State of which the author is a national.
+
+6. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, in case of  
+simultaneous publication in two or more Contracting States, the work 
+shall be treated as though first published in the State which affords 
+the shortest term; any work published in two or more Contracting States 
+within thirty days of its first publication shall be considered as having 
+been published simultaneously in said Contracting States.
+
+ARTICLE IVbis
+
+1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the basic 
+rights ensuring the author's economic interests, including the exclusive 
+right to authorize reproduction by any means, public performance and 
+broadcasting.  The provisions of this Article shall extend to works 
+protected under this Convention either in their original form or in any 
+form recognizably derived from the original.
+
+2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic 
+legislation, make exceptions that do not conflict with the spirit and 
+provisions of this Convention, to the rights mentioned in paragraph 1 of 
+this Article.  Any State whose legislation so provides, shall 
+nevertheless accord a reasonable degree of effective protection to each 
+of the rights to which exception has been made.
+
+ARTICLE V
+
+1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the exclusive 
+right of the author to make, publish and authorize the making and 
+publication of translations of works protected under this Convention.
+
+2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic 
+legislation, restrict the right of translation of writings, but only subject 
+to the following provisions:
+
+(a) If, after the expiration of a period of seven years from 
+the date of the first publication of a writing, a translation of 
+such writing has not been published in a language in general use 
+in the Contracting State, by the owner of the right of 
+translation or with his authorization, any national of such 
+Contracting State may obtain a non-exclusive licence from the 
+competent authority thereof to translate the work into that 
+language and publish the work so translated.
+
+(b) Such national shall in accordance with the procedure of 
+the State concerned, establish either that he has requested, 
+and been denied, authorization by the proprietor of the right to 
+make and publish the translation, or that, after due diligence 
+on his part, he was unable to find the owner of the right.  A 
+licence may also be granted on the same conditions if all 
+previous editions of a translation in a language in general use in 
+the Contracting State are out of print.
+
+(c) If the owner of the right of translation cannot be found, 
+then the applicant for a licence shall send copies of his 
+application to the publisher whose name appears on the work 
+and, if the nationality of the owner of the right of translation 
+is known, to the diplomatic or consular representative of the 
+State of which such owner is a national, or to the organization 
+which may have been designated by the government of that 
+State.  The licence shall not be granted before the expiration of 
+a period of two months from the date of the dispatch of the 
+copies of the application.
+
+(d) Due provision shall be made by domestic legislation to 
+ensure to the owner of the right of translation a compensation 
+which is just and conforms to international standards, to ensure 
+payment and transmittal of such compensation, and to ensure a 
+correct translation of the work.
+
+(e) The original title and the name of the author of the 
+work shall be printed on all copies of the published 
+translation.  The licence shall be valid only for publication of 
+the translation in the territory of the Contracting State where 
+it has been applied for.  Copies so published may be imported 
+and sold in another Contracting State if a language in general 
+use in such other State is the same language as that into which 
+the work has been so translated, and if the domestic law in such 
+other State makes provision for such licenses and does not 
+prohibit such importation and sale.  Where the foregoing 
+conditions do not exist, the importation and sale of such copies 
+in a Contracting State shall be governed by its domestic law 
+and its agreements.  The licence shall not be transferred by the 
+licensee.
+
+(f) The licence shall not be granted when the author has 
+withdrawn from circulation all copies of the work.
+
+ARTICLE Vbis
+
+1. Any Contracting State regarded as a developing country in 
+conformity with the established practice of the General Assembly of 
+the United Nations may, by a notification deposited with the 
+Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and 
+Cultural Organization (hereinafter called "the Director-General") at 
+the time of its ratification, acceptance or accession or thereafter, avail 
+itself of any or all of the exceptions provided for in Articles Vter and 
+Vquater.
+
+2. Any such notification shall be effective for ten years from the 
+date of coming into force of this Convention, or for such part of that ten-
+year period as remains at the date of deposit of the notification, and 
+may be renewed in whole or in part for further periods of ten years each 
+if, not more than fifteen or less than three months before the expiration 
+of the relevant ten-year period, the contracting State deposits a further 
+notification with the Director-General.  Initial notifications may also 
+be made during these further periods of ten years in accordance with 
+the provisions of this Article.
+
+3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, a 
+Contracting State that has ceased to be regarded as a developing 
+country as referred to in paragraph 1 shall no longer be entitled to 
+renew its notification made under the provisions of paragraph 1 or 2, 
+and whether or not it formally withdraws the notification such State 
+shall be precluded from availing itself of the exceptions provided for in 
+Articles Vter and Vquater at the end of the current ten-year period, or 
+at the end of three years after it has ceased to be regarded as a 
+developing country, whichever period expires later.
+
+4. Any copies of a work already made under the exceptions 
+provided for in Articles Vter and Vquater may continue to be 
+distributed after the expiration of the period for which notifications 
+under this Article were effective until their stock is exhausted.
+
+5. Any Contracting State that has deposited a notification in 
+accordance with Article XIII with respect to the application of this 
+Convention to a particular country or territory, the situation of which 
+can be regarded as analogous to that of the States referred to in 
+paragraph 1 of this Article, may also deposit notifications and renew 
+them in accordance with the provisions of this Article with respect to 
+any such country or territory.  During the effective period of such 
+notifications, the provisions of Articles Vter and Vquater may be 
+applied with respect to such country or territory.  The sending of copies 
+from the country or territory to the Contracting State shall be 
+considered as export within the meaning of Articles Vter and Vquater.
+
+
+ARTICLE Vter
+
+1. (a) Any Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies 
+may substitute for the period of seven years provided for in 
+Article V(2) a period of three years or any longer period 
+prescribed by its legislation. However, in the case of a 
+translation into a language not in general use in one or more 
+developed countries that are party to this Convention or only 
+the 1952 Convention, the period shall be one year instead of 
+three.
+
+(b) A Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies 
+may, with the unanimous agreement of the developed countries 
+party to this Convention or only the 1952 Convention and in 
+which the same language is in general use, substitute, in the 
+case of translation into that language, for the period of three 
+years provided for in sub-paragraph (a) another period as 
+determined be such agreement but not shorter than one year.  
+However, this sub-paragraph shall not apply where the 
+language in question is English, French or Spanish.  
+Notification of any such agreement shall be made to the 
+Director-General.
+
+(c) The licence may only be granted if the applicant, in 
+accordance with the procedure of the State concerned, 
+establishes either that he has requested, and been denied, 
+authorization by the owner of the right of translation, or that, 
+after due diligence on his part, he was unable to find the owner 
+of the right.  At the same time as he makes his request he shall 
+inform either the International Copyright Information Centre 
+established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and 
+Cultural Organization or any national or regional information 
+centre which may have been designated in a notification to 
+that effect deposited with the Director-General by the 
+government of the State in which the publisher is believed to 
+have his principal place of business.
+
+(d) If the owner of the right of translation cannot be found, 
+the applicant for a licence shall send, by registered airmail, 
+copies of his application to the publisher whose name appears 
+on the work and to any national or regional information centre 
+as mentioned in sub-paragraph (c). If no such centre is notified 
+he shall also send a copy to the international copyright 
+information centre established by the United Nations 
+Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
+
+2. (a) Licenses obtainable after three years shall not be 
+granted under this Article until a further period of six months 
+has elapsed and licenses obtainable after one year until a 
+further period of nine months has elapsed.  The further period 
+shall begin either from the date of the request for permission to 
+translate mentioned in paragraph 1 (c) or, if the identity or 
+address of the owner of the right of translation is not known, 
+from the date of dispatch of the copies of the application for a 
+licence mentioned in paragraph 1(d).
+
+(b) Licenses shall not be granted if a translation has been 
+published by the owner of the right of translation or with his 
+authorization during the said period of six or nine months.
+
+3. Any licence under this Article shall be granted only for the 
+purpose of teaching, scholarship or research.
+
+4. (a) Any licence granted under this Article shall not extend 
+to the export of copies and shall be valid only for publication in 
+the territory of the Contracting State where it has been 
+applied for.
+
+(b) Any copy published in accordance with a licence granted 
+under this Article shall bear a notice in the appropriate 
+language stating that the copy is available for distribution 
+only in the Contracting State Granting the licence.  If the 
+writing bears the notice specified in Article III (1) the copies 
+shall bear the same notice.
+
+(c) The prohibition of export provided for in sub-paragraph (a)
+shall not apply where a governmental or other public entity 
+of a State which has granted a licence under this Article to 
+translate a work into a language other than English, French or 
+Spanish sends copies of a translation prepared under such 
+licence to another country if:
+
+(i) the recipients are individuals who are nationals of 
+the Contracting State granting the licence, or organizations 
+grouping such individuals;
+
+(ii) the copies are to be used only for the purpose of 
+teaching, scholarship or research;
+
+(iii) the sending of the copies and their subsequent 
+distribution to recipients is without the object of 
+commercial purpose; and 
+
+(iv) the country to which the copies have been sent has 
+agreed with the Contracting State to allow the receipt, 
+distribution or both and the Director-General has been 
+notified of such agreement by any one of the governments 
+which have concluded it.
+
+5. Due provision shall be made at the national level to ensure:
+
+(a) that the licence provides for just compensation that is 
+consistent with standards of royalties normally operating in 
+the case of licenses freely negotiated between persons in the two 
+countries concerned; and
+
+(b) payment and transmittal of the compensation; however, 
+should national currency regulations intervene, the competent 
+authority shall make all efforts, by the use of international 
+machinery, to ensure transmittal in internationally convertible 
+currency or its equivalent.
+
+6. Any licence granted by a Contracting State under this Article 
+shall terminate if a translation of the work in the same language with 
+substantially the same content as the edition in respect of which the 
+licence was granted is published in the said State by the owner of the 
+right of translation or with his authorization, at a price reasonably 
+related to that normally charged in the same State for comparable 
+works.  Any copies already made before the licence is terminated may 
+continue to be distributed until their stock is exhausted.
+
+7.  For works which are composed mainly of illustrations a 
+licence to translate the text and to reproduce the illustrations may be 
+granted only if the conditions of Article Vquater are also fulfilled.
+
+8. (a) A licence to translate a work protected under this 
+Convention, published in printed or analogous forms of 
+reproduction, may also be granted to a broadcasting 
+organization having its headquarters in a Contracting State to 
+which Article Vbis (1) applies, upon an application made in 
+that State by the said organization under the following 
+conditions:
+
+(i) the translation is made from a copy made and 
+acquired in accordance with the laws of the Contracting

+medium of sound or visual recordings lawfully and 
+exclusively made for the purpose of such broadcasts;
+
+(iv) sound or visual recordings of the translation may be 
+exchanged only between broadcasting organizations having 
+their headquarters in the Contracting State granting the 
+licence; and
+
+(v) all uses made of the translation are without any 
+commercial   purpose.
+
+(b) Provided all of the criteria and conditions set out in 
+subparagraph (a) are met, a licence may also be granted to a 
+broadcasting organization to translate any text incorporated in 
+an audio-visual fixation which was itself prepared and 
+published for the sole purpose of being used in connexion with 
+systematic instructional activities.
+
+(c) Subject to sub-paragraphs (a) and (b), the other 
+provisions of this Article shall apply to the grant and exercise 
+of the licence.
+
+9. Subject to the provisions of this Article, any licence granted 
+under this Article shall be governed by the provisions of Article V, and 
+shall continue to be governed by the provisions of Article V and of this 
+Article, even after the seven-year period provided for in Article V (2) 
+has expired.  However, after the said period has expired, the licensee 
+shall be free to request that the said licence be replaced by a new 
+licence governed exclusively by the provisions of Article V.

+right of reproduction or with his authorization, any national of 
+such State may obtain a non-exclusive licence from the 
+competent authority to publish such edition at that or a lower

+activities.  The licence may only be granted if such national, in 
+accordance with the procedure of the State concerned, 
+established either that he has requested, and been denied, 
+authorization by the proprietor of the right to publish such 
+work, or that, after due diligence on his part, he was unable to 
+find the owner of the right.  At the same time as he makes his

+identified as such in a notification deposited with the 
+Director-General by the State in which the publisher is 
+believed to have his principal place of business.  In the absence 
+of any such notification, he shall also send a copy to the

+Organization.  The licence shall not be granted before the 
+expiration of a period of three months from the date of 
+dispatch of the copies of the application.

+work shall not be granted under this Article in the following 
+cases:
+
+(i) where the translation was not published by the

+
+(ii) where the translation is not in a language in 
+general use in the State with power to grant the licence.
+
+2. The exceptions provided for in paragraph 1 are subject to the 
+following additional provisions:
+
+(a) Any copy published in accordance with a licence 
+granted under this Article shall bear a notice in the 
+appropriate language stating that the copy is available for 
+distribution only in the Contracting State to which the said 
+licence applies.  If the edition bears the notice specified in 
+Article III (1), the copies shall bear the same notice.

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar, then we produce 2
+million dollars per hour this year we, will have to do four text
+files per month:  thus upping our productivity from one million.
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by the December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by the end
+of the year 2001.

+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault.  So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you.  It also tells you how
+you can distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+

+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-
+tm etexts, is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor
+Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association at
+Illinois Benedictine College (the "Project").  Among other
+things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the Project's "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works.  Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects".  Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] the Project (and any other party you may receive this
+etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from.  If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy.  If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS".  NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold the Project, its directors,
+officers, members and agents harmless from all liability, cost
+and expense, including legal fees, that arise directly or
+indirectly from any of the following that you do or cause:

+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word pro-
+     cessing or hypertext software, but only so long as

+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the
+          author, and additional characters may be used to
+          indicate hypertext links; OR
+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
+          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent

+     payable to "Project Gutenberg Association / Illinois
+     Benedictine College" within the 60 days following each
+     date you prepare (or were legally required to prepare)
+     your annual (or equivalent periodic) tax return.

+together with the two related protocols;
+
+The President of the United States of America ratified the 
+Convention as revised, together with the two related protocols on

+
+
+By the President:  HENRY A. KISSINGER, Secretary of State
+
+The Contracting States.
+
+Moved by the desire to ensure in all countries copyright 
+protection of literary, scientific and artistic works,
+
+Convinced that a system of copyright protection appropriate to 
+all nations of the world and expressed in a 
+universal convention,  additional to, and without impairing 
+international systems already in force, will ensure respect for the rights 
+of the individual and encourage the development of literature, the 
+sciences and the arts,
+
+Persuaded that such a universal copyright system will facilitate 
+a wider dissemination of works of the human mind and increase 
+international understanding,
+
+Have resolved to revise the Universal Copyright Convention as 
+signed at Geneva on 6 September 1952 (hereinafter called "the 1952 
+Convention"), and consequently,
+
+Have agreed as follows:
+
+ARTICLE I
+
+Each Contracting State undertakes to provide for the adequate 
+and effective protection of the rights of authors and other copyright 
+proprietors in literary, scientific and artistic works, including writings, 
+musical, dramatic and cinematographic works, and paintings, 
+engravings and sculpture.
+
+ARTICLE II
+
+1. Published works of nationals of any Contracting State and 
+works first published in that State shall enjoy in each other 
+Contracting State the same protection as that other State accords to 
+works of its nationals first published in its own territory, as well as the 
+protection specially granted by this Convention.
+
+2. Unpublished works of nationals of each Contracting State 
+shall enjoy in each other Contracting State the same protection as that 
+other State accords to unpublished works of its own nationals, as well 
+as the protection specially granted by this Convention.
+
+3. For the purposed of this Convention any Contracting State 
+may, by  domestic legislation, assimilate to its own nationals any 
+person domiciled in that State.
+
+ARTICLE III
+
+1. Any Contracting State which, under its domestic law, requires 
+as a  condition of copyright, compliance with formalities such as 
+deposit, registration, notice notarial certificates, payment of fees or 
+manufacture or publication in that Contracting State, shall regard 
+these requirements as satisfied with respect to all works protected in 
+accordance with this Convention and first published outside its 
+territory and the author of which is not one of its nationals, if from the 
+time of the first publication all the copies of the work published with 
+the authority of the author or other copyright proprietor bear the 
+symbol of a lower case "c" inside of a circle accompanied by the name of 
+the copyright proprietor and the year of first publication placed in 
+such manner and location as to give reasonable notice of claim of 
+copyright.
+
+2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not preclude any 
+Contracting State from requiring formalities or other conditions for the 
+acquisition and enjoyment of copyright in respect of works first 
+published in its territory or works of its nationals wherever published.
+
+3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not preclude any 
+Contracting State from providing that a person seeking judicial relief 
+must, in bringing the action, comply with procedural requirements, such 
+as that the complainant must appear through domestic counsel or that 
+the complainant must deposit with the court or an administrative 
+office, or both, a copy of the work involved in the litigation; provided 
+that failure to comply with such requirements shall not affect the 
+validity of the copyright, nor shall any such requirement be imposed 
+upon a national of another Contracting State if such requirement is not 
+imposed on nationals of the State in which protection is claimed.
+
+4. In each Contracting State there shall be legal means of 
+protecting without formalities the unpublished work of nationals of 
+other Contracting States.
+
+5. If a Contracting State grants protection for more than one term 
+of  copyright and the first term is for a period longer than one of the 
+minimum periods prescribed in Article IV, such State shall not be 
+required to comply with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article in 
+respect of the second or any subsequent term of copyright.
+
+ARTICLE IV
+
+1. The duration of protection of a work shall be governed, in 
+accordance with the provisions of Article II and this Article, by the 
+law of the Contracting State in which protection is claimed.
+
+2. (a) The term of protection for works protected under this 
+Convention shall not be less that the life of the author and twenty-
+five years after his death.  However, any Contracting State which, 
+on the effective date of this Convention in that State, has limited 
+this term for certain classes of works to a period computed from this 
+first publication of the work, shall be entitled to maintain these 
+exceptions and to extend them to other classes of works.  For all 
+these classes the term of protection shall not be less than twenty-
+five years from the date of first publication.
+
+(b) Any Contracting State which, upon the effective date of 
+this Convention in that State, does not compute the term of 
+protection upon the basis of the life of the author, shall be entitled 
+to compute the term of protection from the date of the first 
+publication of the work or from its registration prior to publication, 
+as the case may be, provided the term of protection shall not be less 
+than twenty-five years from the date of first publication or from its 
+registration prior to publication, as the case may be.
+
+(c) If the legislation of a Contracting State grants two or 
+more successive terms of protection, the duration of the first term 
+shall not be less than one of the minimum periods specified in 
+subparagraphs (a) and (b).
+
+3. The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply to 
+photographic works or to works of applied art; provided, however, 
+that the term of protection in those Contracting States which protect 
+photographic works, or works of applied art in so far as they are 
+protected as artistic works, shall not be less than ten years for each of 
+said classes of works.
+
+4. (a) No Contracting State shall be obliged to grant 
+protection to a  work for a period longer than that fixed for the 
+class of works to which the work in question belongs, in the case 
+of unpublished works by the law of the Contracting State of 
+which the author is a national, and in the case of published 
+works by the law of the Contracting State in which the work 
+has been first published.
+
+(b) For the purposes of the application of subparagraph (a), 
+if the law of any Contracting State grants two or more 
+successive terms of protection, the period of protection of that 
+State shall be considered to be the aggregate of those terms.  
+However, if a specified work is not protected by such State 
+during the second or any subsequent term for any reason, the 
+other Contracting States shall not be obliged to protect it during 
+the second or any subsequent term.
+
+5. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, the work 
+of a national of a Contracting State, first published in a non-
+Contracting State, shall be treated as though first published in the 
+Contracting State of which the author is a national.
+
+6. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, in case of  
+simultaneous publication in two or more Contracting States, the work 
+shall be treated as though first published in the State which affords 
+the shortest term; any work published in two or more Contracting States 
+within thirty days of its first publication shall be considered as having 
+been published simultaneously in said Contracting States.
+
+ARTICLE IVbis
+
+1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the basic 
+rights ensuring the author's economic interests, including the exclusive 
+right to authorize reproduction by any means, public performance and 
+broadcasting.  The provisions of this Article shall extend to works 
+protected under this Convention either in their original form or in any 
+form recognizably derived from the original.
+
+2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic 
+legislation, make exceptions that do not conflict with the spirit and 
+provisions of this Convention, to the rights mentioned in paragraph 1 of 
+this Article.  Any State whose legislation so provides, shall 
+nevertheless accord a reasonable degree of effective protection to each 
+of the rights to which exception has been made.
+
+ARTICLE V
+
+1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the exclusive 
+right of the author to make, publish and authorize the making and 
+publication of translations of works protected under this Convention.
+
+2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic 
+legislation, restrict the right of translation of writings, but only subject 
+to the following provisions:
+
+(a) If, after the expiration of a period of seven years from 
+the date of the first publication of a writing, a translation of 
+such writing has not been published in a language in general use 
+in the Contracting State, by the owner of the right of 
+translation or with his authorization, any national of such 
+Contracting State may obtain a non-exclusive licence from the 
+competent authority thereof to translate the work into that 
+language and publish the work so translated.
+
+(b) Such national shall in accordance with the procedure of 
+the State concerned, establish either that he has requested, 
+and been denied, authorization by the proprietor of the right to 
+make and publish the translation, or that, after due diligence 
+on his part, he was unable to find the owner of the right.  A 
+licence may also be granted on the same conditions if all 
+previous editions of a translation in a language in general use in 
+the Contracting State are out of print.
+
+(c) If the owner of the right of translation cannot be found, 
+then the applicant for a licence shall send copies of his 
+application to the publisher whose name appears on the work 
+and, if the nationality of the owner of the right of translation 
+is known, to the diplomatic or consular representative of the 
+State of which such owner is a national, or to the organization 
+which may have been designated by the government of that 
+State.  The licence shall not be granted before the expiration of 
+a period of two months from the date of the dispatch of the 
+copies of the application.
+
+(d) Due provision shall be made by domestic legislation to 
+ensure to the owner of the right of translation a compensation 
+which is just and conforms to international standards, to ensure 
+payment and transmittal of such compensation, and to ensure a 
+correct translation of the work.
+
+(e) The original title and the name of the author of the 
+work shall be printed on all copies of the published 
+translation.  The licence shall be valid only for publication of 
+the translation in the territory of the Contracting State where 
+it has been applied for.  Copies so published may be imported 
+and sold in another Contracting State if a language in general 
+use in such other State is the same language as that into which 
+the work has been so translated, and if the domestic law in such 
+other State makes provision for such licenses and does not 
+prohibit such importation and sale.  Where the foregoing 
+conditions do not exist, the importation and sale of such copies 
+in a Contracting State shall be governed by its domestic law 
+and its agreements.  The licence shall not be transferred by the 
+licensee.
+
+(f) The licence shall not be granted when the author has 
+withdrawn from circulation all copies of the work.
+
+ARTICLE Vbis
+
+1. Any Contracting State regarded as a developing country in 
+conformity with the established practice of the General Assembly of 
+the United Nations may, by a notification deposited with the 
+Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and 
+Cultural Organization (hereinafter called "the Director-General") at 
+the time of its ratification, acceptance or accession or thereafter, avail 
+itself of any or all of the exceptions provided for in Articles Vter and 
+Vquater.
+
+2. Any such notification shall be effective for ten years from the 
+date of coming into force of this Convention, or for such part of that ten-
+year period as remains at the date of deposit of the notification, and 
+may be renewed in whole or in part for further periods of ten years each 
+if, not more than fifteen or less than three months before the expiration 
+of the relevant ten-year period, the contracting State deposits a further 
+notification with the Director-General.  Initial notifications may also 
+be made during these further periods of ten years in accordance with 
+the provisions of this Article.
+
+3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, a 
+Contracting State that has ceased to be regarded as a developing 
+country as referred to in paragraph 1 shall no longer be entitled to 
+renew its notification made under the provisions of paragraph 1 or 2, 
+and whether or not it formally withdraws the notification such State 
+shall be precluded from availing itself of the exceptions provided for in 
+Articles Vter and Vquater at the end of the current ten-year period, or 
+at the end of three years after it has ceased to be regarded as a 
+developing country, whichever period expires later.
+
+4. Any copies of a work already made under the exceptions 
+provided for in Articles Vter and Vquater may continue to be 
+distributed after the expiration of the period for which notifications 
+under this Article were effective until their stock is exhausted.
+
+5. Any Contracting State that has deposited a notification in 
+accordance with Article XIII with respect to the application of this 
+Convention to a particular country or territory, the situation of which 
+can be regarded as analogous to that of the States referred to in 
+paragraph 1 of this Article, may also deposit notifications and renew 
+them in accordance with the provisions of this Article with respect to 
+any such country or territory.  During the effective period of such 
+notifications, the provisions of Articles Vter and Vquater may be 
+applied with respect to such country or territory.  The sending of copies 
+from the country or territory to the Contracting State shall be 
+considered as export within the meaning of Articles Vter and Vquater.
+
+
+ARTICLE Vter
+
+1. (a) Any Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies 
+may substitute for the period of seven years provided for in 
+Article V(2) a period of three years or any longer period 
+prescribed by its legislation. However, in the case of a 
+translation into a language not in general use in one or more 
+developed countries that are party to this Convention or only 
+the 1952 Convention, the period shall be one year instead of 
+three.
+
+(b) A Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies 
+may, with the unanimous agreement of the developed countries 
+party to this Convention or only the 1952 Convention and in 
+which the same language is in general use, substitute, in the 
+case of translation into that language, for the period of three 
+years provided for in sub-paragraph (a) another period as 
+determined be such agreement but not shorter than one year.  
+However, this sub-paragraph shall not apply where the 
+language in question is English, French or Spanish.  
+Notification of any such agreement shall be made to the 
+Director-General.
+
+(c) The licence may only be granted if the applicant, in 
+accordance with the procedure of the State concerned, 
+establishes either that he has requested, and been denied, 
+authorization by the owner of the right of translation, or that, 
+after due diligence on his part, he was unable to find the owner 
+of the right.  At the same time as he makes his request he shall 
+inform either the International Copyright Information Centre 
+established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and 
+Cultural Organization or any national or regional information 
+centre which may have been designated in a notification to 
+that effect deposited with the Director-General by the 
+government of the State in which the publisher is believed to 
+have his principal place of business.
+
+(d) If the owner of the right of translation cannot be found, 
+the applicant for a licence shall send, by registered airmail, 
+copies of his application to the publisher whose name appears 
+on the work and to any national or regional information centre 
+as mentioned in sub-paragraph (c). If no such centre is notified 
+he shall also send a copy to the international copyright 
+information centre established by the United Nations 
+Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
+
+2. (a) Licenses obtainable after three years shall not be 
+granted under this Article until a further period of six months 
+has elapsed and licenses obtainable after one year until a 
+further period of nine months has elapsed.  The further period 
+shall begin either from the date of the request for permission to 
+translate mentioned in paragraph 1 (c) or, if the identity or 
+address of the owner of the right of translation is not known, 
+from the date of dispatch of the copies of the application for a 
+licence mentioned in paragraph 1(d).
+
+(b) Licenses shall not be granted if a translation has been 
+published by the owner of the right of translation or with his 
+authorization during the said period of six or nine months.
+
+3. Any licence under this Article shall be granted only for the 
+purpose of teaching, scholarship or research.
+
+4. (a) Any licence granted under this Article shall not extend 
+to the export of copies and shall be valid only for publication in 
+the territory of the Contracting State where it has been 
+applied for.
+
+(b) Any copy published in accordance with a licence granted 
+under this Article shall bear a notice in the appropriate 
+language stating that the copy is available for distribution 
+only in the Contracting State Granting the licence.  If the 
+writing bears the notice specified in Article III (1) the copies 
+shall bear the same notice.
+
+(c) The prohibition of export provided for in sub-paragraph (a)
+shall not apply where a governmental or other public entity 
+of a State which has granted a licence under this Article to 
+translate a work into a language other than English, French or 
+Spanish sends copies of a translation prepared under such 
+licence to another country if:
+
+(i) the recipients are individuals who are nationals of 
+the Contracting State granting the licence, or organizations 
+grouping such individuals;
+
+(ii) the copies are to be used only for the purpose of 
+teaching, scholarship or research;
+
+(iii) the sending of the copies and their subsequent 
+distribution to recipients is without the object of 
+commercial purpose; and 
+
+(iv) the country to which the copies have been sent has 
+agreed with the Contracting State to allow the receipt, 
+distribution or both and the Director-General has been 
+notified of such agreement by any one of the governments 
+which have concluded it.
+
+5. Due provision shall be made at the national level to ensure:
+
+(a) that the licence provides for just compensation that is 
+consistent with standards of royalties normally operating in 
+the case of licenses freely negotiated between persons in the two 
+countries concerned; and
+
+(b) payment and transmittal of the compensation; however, 
+should national currency regulations intervene, the competent 
+authority shall make all efforts, by the use of international 
+machinery, to ensure transmittal in internationally convertible 
+currency or its equivalent.
+
+6. Any licence granted by a Contracting State under this Article 
+shall terminate if a translation of the work in the same language with 
+substantially the same content as the edition in respect of which the 
+licence was granted is published in the said State by the owner of the 
+right of translation or with his authorization, at a price reasonably 
+related to that normally charged in the same State for comparable 
+works.  Any copies already made before the licence is terminated may 
+continue to be distributed until their stock is exhausted.
+
+7.  For works which are composed mainly of illustrations a 
+licence to translate the text and to reproduce the illustrations may be 
+granted only if the conditions of Article Vquater are also fulfilled.
+
+8. (a) A licence to translate a work protected under this 
+Convention, published in printed or analogous forms of 
+reproduction, may also be granted to a broadcasting 
+organization having its headquarters in a Contracting State to 
+which Article Vbis (1) applies, upon an application made in 
+that State by the said organization under the following 
+conditions:
+
+(i) the translation is made from a copy made and 
+acquired in accordance with the laws of the Contracting 
+State;
+
+(ii) the translation is for use only in broadcasts 
+intended exclusively for teaching or for the dissemination 
+of the results of specialized technical or scientific research 
+to experts in a particular profession;

+set out in condition (ii), through broadcasts lawfully made 
+which are intended for recipients on the territory of the 
+Contracting State, including  broadcasts made through the 
+medium of sound or visual recordings lawfully and 
+exclusively made for the purpose of such broadcasts;
+
+(iv) sound or visual recordings of the translation may be 
+exchanged only between broadcasting organizations having 
+their headquarters in the Contracting State granting the 
+licence; and
+
+(v) all uses made of the translation are without any 
+commercial   purpose.
+
+(b) Provided all of the criteria and conditions set out in 
+subparagraph (a) are met, a licence may also be granted to a 
+broadcasting organization to translate any text incorporated in 
+an audio-visual fixation which was itself prepared and 
+published for the sole purpose of being used in connexion with 
+systematic instructional activities.
+
+(c) Subject to sub-paragraphs (a) and (b), the other 
+provisions of this Article shall apply to the grant and exercise 
+of the licence.
+
+9. Subject to the provisions of this Article, any licence granted 
+under this Article shall be governed by the provisions of Article V, and 
+shall continue to be governed by the provisions of Article V and of this 
+Article, even after the seven-year period provided for in Article V (2) 
+has expired.  However, after the said period has expired, the licensee 
+shall be free to request that the said licence be replaced by a new 
+licence governed exclusively by the provisions of Article V.
+

+1. Any Contracting State to which Article Vbis (1) applies may 
+adopt the following provisions:
+
+(a) If, after the expiration of (i) the relevant period 
+specified in sub-paragraph (c) commencing from the date of 
+first publication of a particular edition of a literary, scientific 
+or artistic work referred to in paragraph 3, or (ii) any longer 
+period determined by national legislation of the State, copies 
+of such edition have not been distributed in that State to the 
+general public or in connexion with systematic instructional 
+activities at a price reasonably related to that normally 
+charged in the State for comparable works, by the owner of the 
+right of reproduction or with his authorization, any national of 
+such State may obtain a non-exclusive licence from the 
+competent authority to publish such edition at that or a lower 
+price for use in connexion with systematic instructional 
+activities.  The licence may only be granted if such national, in 
+accordance with the procedure of the State concerned, 
+established either that he has requested, and been denied, 
+authorization by the proprietor of the right to publish such 
+work, or that, after due diligence on his part, he was unable to 
+find the owner of the right.  At the same time as he makes his 
+request he shall inform either the international copyright 
+information centre established by the United Nations 
+Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization or any

+copies of his application to the publisher whose name appears 
+on the work and to any national or regional information centre 
+identified as such in a notification deposited with the 
+Director-General by the State in which the publisher is 
+believed to have his principal place of business.  In the absence 
+of any such notification, he shall also send a copy to the 
+international copyright information centre established by the 
+United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural 
+Organization.  The licence shall not be granted before the 
+expiration of a period of three months from the date of 
+dispatch of the copies of the application.
+
+(e) Licenses obtainable after three years shall not be

+published reproduction. The licence shall not extend to the 
+export of copies and shall be valid only for publication in the

+
+(h) A licence to reproduce and publish a translation of a 
+work shall not be granted under this Article in the following 
+cases:
+
+(i) where the translation was not published by the 
+owner of the right of translation or with his authorization;
+
+(ii) where the translation is not in a language in 
+general use in the State with power to grant the licence.
+
+2. The exceptions provided for in paragraph 1 are subject to the 
+following additional provisions:
+
+(a) Any copy published in accordance with a licence 
+granted under this Article shall bear a notice in the 
+appropriate language stating that the copy is available for 
+distribution only in the Contracting State to which the said 
+licence applies.  If the edition bears the notice specified in 
+Article III (1), the copies shall bear the same notice.
+
+(b) Due provision shall be made at the national level to

+
+3. Accession to this Convention by a State not party to the 1952
