For atopia (Gene) and others who have been asking recently about what and  if 
something is in copyright, and where to find out, here's some good  news:

Apparently Google has scanned all the copyright records, put together those  
that the LC has, and then written a search engine for them.
 
Not sure if this includes works besides books, but it's a start. Now  you 
don't have to hire a lawyer or fly to a depository to see what's what  and where, 
or if....
