Or the ARRL forgot to renew the copyright. Copyrights were originally issued for a period of 7 years, renewable once for an additional 7 years. Along comes Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, and Walt had money enough to get the law changed so we have the current never expires situation by including corporations such as Disney in it definitions of authors. If its ever been renewed. But the law today gives me automatic copyright over what I write without additional public notice, I think for 90 years after I die. There is something wrong with this picture. 14 years was considered as the author having milked his writings for 99% of all they would ever generate in income. IMNSHO it (the original version) is still a good idea. Stealing an individuals creativity, and his rewards for being creative by awarding the copyright to a corporation, is theft pure and simple, and should become somebody lined up against the wall for 3rd offence grand larceny. But today, we'ed need Trumps incompleted wall to maybe have enough wall. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
