The recent discussions on where to obtain (trade, borrow, etc.) out-of-print
CP books, most notably the works of Adrian Slack, brings up a question in my
mind. Though I'm in the publishing business, I'm no copyright attorney
(though I might ask ours) In the meantime, what does U.S. or international
copyright law say about the mechanical reproduction of out-of-print works? It
would seem is copyright stands to protec the financial interest of
authors/publishers, that it would seem without harm to reproduce works where
there exists no further profit potential for their owners/distributors.
Am I WAY off base here?
Curiously yours,
