@Jeff G.: What does this copyright filing mean? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 03:16, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[1]

@World's Lamest Critic: That appears to be a record of an attempted renewal in 2009-07-27 for a copyright that was not registered in the first place, for four works allegedly created 1967-06-04. Such attempt appears to have been 2009-28-1967=14 years too late, but according to COM:HIRTLE that is now moot, the only real question is if there was perfect notice. On that point, File:Are You Experienced - US cover.jpg says 'produced and published in the US before 1978; no copyright notice was found on the album cover (front or back) or on the LP itself (only photo & art direction credits and statement "Performance Rights on All Selections: BMI")'. See also images of the back cover and LP label at https://www.flickr.com/photos/12998963@N03/3021504077. Thus, the US album cover and album "Are You Experienced" have never been copyrighted, are in the public domain, and may be used freely.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 09:50, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[2]
