Licensing

The cover is in the public domain in the United States for the same reasons that apply to File:Jaws 1st edition 1975.jpg, which the US Copyright Office ruled is public domain. See File:Jaws illustration copyright decision.pdf.

There are no copyright notices on the cover nor the illustrations immediately behind the front and back covers. There is only one copyright notice inside the book: "COPYRIGHT © 1974 BY STEPHEN KING".

The book is not a composite/collective work such that Stephen King's copyright notice applies to the cover.

Furthermore, even if a copyright notice inside the book applies to the cover art, King is not the name of the proprietor of the cover nor a name by which the proprietor is generally known. King is neither an assignee of the cover nor a licensee such that his copyright notice shields the proprietor from forfeiture. Thus the cover art is published without a copyright notice and is hence in the public domain.

The following links prove that the cover art does not have a copyright notice and that the inside of the book only has the copyright notice "COPYRIGHT © 1974 BY STEPHEN KING".

Too Much Horror Fiction:


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art.
