Millions? Damn, they can churn out some content. 13 million[0]!.

The NYT publishes about 200 pieces of journalism every day (according to their own website), and it was founded in 1851. That makes for a lot of articles.

Copyright in the US persists for 70 years after the publisher's death.

So the earliest available copyrighted material would be all content published by anybody who died in the year 1953 or earlier.

If the author of an article published in 1950 still has a living author, the work is still copyrighted.
