Originally this issue of The Owl was seemingly published without a copyright notice, but if it was published with a copyright notice of 1956, this issue of The Owl student yearbook would have had to be renewed in 1983. Online searches, regardless of year, of Copyright Office's Copyright Records web site for The Owl, editor Joseph A. Banik, the business manager Leo Zelkowitz, or the University of Pittsburgh revealed no renewal entries. Either this yearbook was never copyrighted or the copyright was not renewed and therefore it is in the public domain according to either criteria. |
