[78-L] Olivier on HMV Copyright Questions

[Kristjan Saag]

Definitley PD for the recordings (as for all recordings made before 
1963). And no copyright claims from the author either, unless the guy 
who wrote Hamlet and Henry V died later than 1944.
This goes for a European project. Don't know about conditions in the 
Colonies.
