ii. The contributor's copyright in his separate contribution as a

separate work, beginning twenty-eight years after publication of the collective work, or on separate publication, if such should by agreement take place within the twenty-eight years, and lasting for his life and seven years, or forty-two years from first publication in the collective work.

_New Editions._[305]--As to each edition, the copyright runs from the date of publication thereof, in so far as the matter therein is then first published.

_Joint Works._--Although there is no statutory provision, they are probably protected for the life of the surviving author and seven years, or for forty-two years from first publication.[306]

SECTION VIII.--COPYRIGHT IN LECTURES.

There is no lecturing right, _i. e._ no exclusive statutory right to deliver a lecture in public. The only Act applying to lectures is 5 & 6 Will. IV. c. 65, which, under pain of penalties, prohibits printing or publishing, or knowingly selling lectures, which at the time of delivery have not been published in book form, without leave of the author thereof, or of the person to whom the author thereof has sold or otherwise conveyed the same. The remedy is action in the High Court for: (i) Forfeiture of copies. (ii) One penny per copy; half to the Crown and half to informer. A condition precedent of protection under this Act is the giving of notice in writing to two justices living within five miles from the place where such lecture or lectures are delivered, two days at least before delivering the same. The Act has fallen into entire desuetude, partly, no doubt, on account of this somewhat troublesome stipulation as to notice, but principally because a lecturer has, in fact, full protection at common law, if, as is usually the case, he can make out an implied contract between himself and his audience that the delivery of the lecture is for purposes of instruction only, and that those present are entitled to make no other use of it whatsoever.[307] His remedy at common law will be for damages and injunction. Of course he cannot sue for penalties, unless he has brought himself within the Act.

The Lectures Act does not apply so as to protect any lecture or lectures delivered in any university, or public school or college, or on any public foundation, or by any individual in virtue of, or according to, any gift, endowment, or foundation.[308] The law relating to such lectures is declared to be the same as if the Lectures Act had not been passed. The result of this proviso is that these special kinds of lectures are nearly always protected at common law by implied contract in the same way as other lectures.[309]
