Matt and Jeremy

I don't agree with you about the Copyright issue.  Copyrights can be
transferred and are bought and sold, you only have to look to music and
movies to see the consequences.  For an outstanding example, Wacko Jacko
owns the copyrights to much of the Beatles music.  More than that Copyright
is for a duration of longer than 50 years and is renewed by subsequent
publication.   (See: Term of Copyright.  Generally, the U.S. copyright term
for works published before January 1, 1978, lasts for 95 years from the year
of first publication. Although sound recordings fixed before 1972 were not
then protected by federal copyright, those sound recordings will receive the
remainder of the term they would have received had they been protected by
such copyright when published. For example, a sound recording published in
1925 will be protected until 2020. For works published on or after January1,
1978, the term of copyright is the life of the author plus 70 years.
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38b.pdf)

However Copyright aside, for books that are currently available in print, if
internet and eBay scammers keep publishing illegal scans of the books (with
various quality of reproduction) it will no longer be economically viable
for a publisher to keep the book in print so they will stop.  The result is
that those of us who wish to own a copy of the published book will no longer
be able to buy them.

I acknowledge that I scanned a whole year of Rover Service Bulletins that
apply to Land Rover and that they still fall within the 95 year rule.
However those documents are not currently available in printed form and
there is no intention for them to be printed so the only way for us to have
access is for people like me to scan them and have them uploaded to the SOG.

Diana

Hi Matt,

likely Brooklands has no comment 'cause they can't copyright something that
is not their own to begin with!
