In my haste I made one error. Photographs in Australia do not receive
protection for life plus 70 years. It is end-of-year photograph
'published' + 50 years ('unpublished' photographs retain copyright
protection forever in Australia). A future update to the Australian
copyright act is planned to change that to life of photographer + 50 years.
I leave it as an exercise to determine the meaning of 'published' in
Australian law - like 'valuable consideration' it is a legal term that
when used as such doesn't necessarily mean what reasonable
English-speaking adults think it means.
