==Entering the public ___domain in countries with life + 70 years==
With the exception of [[Spain]] (which has a copyright term of Life + 80 years for creators that died before 1987), a work enters the [[public ___domain]] in the [[European Union]] 70 years after the creator's death, if it was published during the creator's lifetime.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/publishing/eu-extends-copyright-term-to-70-years-1005348552.story |title=EU Extends Copyright Term To 70 Years &#124; Billboard |publisher=Billboard.biz |date=2011-09-12 |accessdate=2014-01-07 |archive-date=2013-01-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130106035644/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/publishing/eu-extends-copyright-term-to-70-years-1005348552.story |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="EU">{{cite web|url=https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32006L0116|title=EUR-Lex - 32006L0116 - EN - EUR-Lex|author=|date=|website=eur-lex.europa.eu|accessdate=7 January 2019}}</ref> For previously unpublished material, those who publish it first will have the [[publication right]]s for 25 years.

{{See also|Copyright law of Australia}}
 
In 2004 copyright in Australia changed from a "plus 50" law to a "plus 70" law, in line with the United States and the European Union. But the change was not made retroactive (unlike the 1995 change in the European Union which brought some e.g. British authors back into copyright, especially those who died from 1925 to 1944). Hence the work of an author who died before 1955 is normally in the public ___domain in Australia; but the copyright of authors was extended to 70 years after death for those who died in 1955 or later, and no more Australian authors willwould come out of copyright until 1 January 2026 (those who died in 1955).
 
On January 1, 2019, any unpublished work by an author who died in 1948 or before entered the public ___domain.<ref>{{cite web|title=New copyright duration changes coming|url=https://www.communications.gov.au/departmental-news/new-copyright-duration-changes-coming|website=Australian Government-Department of Communications & The Arts|accessdate=23 April 2018|date=2018-04-23}}</ref> Additionally, any published literary, artistic, dramatic, or musical work (other than computer programs) by a not generally known author (anonymous or pseudonymous) from 1948 or before entered the public ___domain.
