International law, the rules regulating the mutual
intercourse of nations. International law is mainly the
product of the conditions from time to time of
international intercourse, being drawn from diplomatic
discussion, textbooks, proof of usage, and from recitals
in treaties. It is called public when treating of the
relations of sovereign powers, and private when of the
relations of persons of different nationalities.
International law is now, by the better opinion, part of
the common law of the land. Cf. Conflict of laws, under
Conflict. --Wharton.

Note: In the United States in 1913 a copyright was valid for
the term of twenty-eight years, with right of renewal
for fourteen years on certain conditions. The term was
extended in stages, and in 1997 the term of a copyright
was life plus 50 years for individuals retaining their
copyright, or 75 years for works created for hire.
Further extension is still (1998) being discussed.
