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-90 for works by authors who died more than 90 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.
