"Works published before 1964 in the US are all in the public domain, excepting only those for which a renewal was registered with the US copyright office. Relatively few works from this era have had their copyrights renewed. A US copyright office study in 1961 found that fewer than 15% of registered copyrights had been renewed."

The old JB books were published by Rickenbacker Co., which is still in business. So maybe those copyrights were renewed....? I have often wondered about the old Emmons Co. tablature from the 1970's. As far as I know Emmons Co. is out of business now and those tab packages have not been available for many years. I wonder if that material is still under copyright?
