  • A photographic work, work deemed to be a photographic work or work of applied art created before 1 July 1970 (more info here); or
  • Another type of work whose author died before 1946; or
  • An anonymous work or a work deemed to be anonymous, or a work by a collective person whose authors were not individually identified, published or disclosed before 1946.
