Re: Copyright on Older Materials



Amen to Terry's copyright code.  You can't control what a fellow is going to
do after you sell him a bottle of whiskey...that's  his business.  If he's
obviously drunk, you can and should refuse to sell him the hooch.

If a fellow signs off on your copy request form that plainly tells him that
the copy is for his/her personal and scholarly research, then sell them the
bottle.  If they say "I'm going to market a whole line of Osama Bin Laden
crosshair target t-shirts with this photo," then you have a pretty good
indication that the customer is headed for a DUI...
