This tag is to be deprecated. Even works published from 1923 to 1977 are copyrighted in the USA for up to 95 years since publication rather than life + 70 years, rendering this tag not fully clear. Please use the following tags instead:

• {{PD-old-100}} for works by authors who died more than 100 years ago.
• {{PD-old-80}} for works by authors who died more than 80 years ago.
• {{PD-old-75}} for works by authors who died more than 75 years ago.
• {{PD-old-70}} for works by authors who died more than 70 years ago.
• {{PD-US}} for U.S. works published before 1 January 1923
• {{PD-1923}} for non-U.S. works published before 1 January 1923.
• {{PD-1996}} for works that are in the public domain in their source countries on 1 January 1996.

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|link=|25px]] <small>Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may ''not'' be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do ''not'' implement the [[w:rule of the shorter term|rule of the shorter term]]. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they ''do'' implement that rule of the shorter term.</small>
