The Size of the Public Domain

Error parsing MDX

[next-mdx-remote-client] error compiling MDX: Expected a closing tag for `<table>` (14:1-14:32) before the end of `paragraph` 12 | For example, we can use base PD status on simple publication dates: if a book was published, say, 140 years ago it is very likely it is in the public domain -- for it to be in copyright its author must have lived more than 70 years after the book came out (remember copyright lasts for life plus 70 years in the EU)! Conversely, any publication less than 70 years old is almost certainly *not* in the public domain. For periods in between we can assume some proportion of publications are PD starting close to zero for more recent items and rising towards one for older ones. A calculation along those lines is provided in the following table: 13 | > 14 | <table class="data" border="1"><thead><tr><th>Start</th><th>End</th><th>Items</th><th>% PD</th><th>Number PD</th></tr></thead> | ^ 15 | <tbody> 16 | <tr><td>1400</td><td>1870</td><td>389291</td><td>100</td><td>389291</td></tr> More information: https://mdxjs.com/docs/troubleshooting-mdx šŸ§‘ā€šŸ”§ See how to debug and solve most common MDX errors in our docs: https://flowershow.app/docs/debug-mdx-errors
