Template:PD-old-70

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.  Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 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 rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

Usage

{{PD-old-70}}

This template is NOT redundant to {{PD-old}} and should not be redirected to or from it. PD-old is a generic template. It is for old works where US and European Union copyright expired while it was meant for worldwide public domain after more than 100 years after authors' deaths. This PD-old-70 specifically gives the reason why the image is PD but even works published from 1929 to 1977 are copyrighted in the USA for up to 95 years since publication rather than life + 70 years.

The template takes no parameters.
