In 2003, a book in English called 'A Course in Miracles' was ruled to be in the public domain by a United States court.

I posted a translation of this public domain text onto a server here in the U.S. The original copyright holder is claiming though that it still controls publishing rights and translation rights outside the United States. How does this apply to the internet though? Am I free to post a translation on a U.S. based server?
