Might be a stupid question but in France books over 50 years of age ended up "free" (to read not to exploit), does it work the same way on all countries? Does it mean we can access books that are over 50 years in your platform or even GP?

In Germany, works become gemeinfrei, a status similar but not exactly equivalent to the public domain, 70 years after the author's death.
