The author can always republish unless they sold or assigned the rights.
If Allen is not the author then fun starts as the original authors
rights go to the heirs when he dies if the copyright has not yet
expired. IIRC that is 90 some odd years. It gets worse...

That's too bad about Congress. I assume that in many cases Allen was the
author, or he could get the OK from those authors still living.

It used to be easy to republish old works but then congress poked their nose
into it several times to fix it and make it better. Now its really broke.

OK, I was wrong. And besides, I only said you MAY have missed the point!

The original author of the article holds the copyright. Sometimes the
publisher also retains the right to republish but each condition is different.
This is why the number of compilations of old disks and cylinders are so
scarce, among others. It also explains why reprints of old magazines etc are
quite scarce now.
It is no longer a simple cut and dried decision or answer.
I very well do understand the issues. I have not missed the point.

Rich, you may be missing the point. You just replied to Allen Koenigsberg that
there may be copyright problems with APM articles. Since Allen is the
publisher of APM, he IS the copyright holder. And I wouldn't be surprised if
he'd be willing to republish any article that someone requested.

You may want to do some research on the present copyright laws. You are going
to be surprised I bet.

I don't know what kind of copyright issues there may be, but I'd like to see
some of the more timeless articles and studies from these early newsletters
and magazines republished in ITG.

APM published 90 issues from 1973 to 1993, probably over 2000 pages - our
largest issue if i recall was 32 pages.
I have tried to incorporate some of the material in my ongoing articles for The Sound
Box (CAPS), edited by Rene Rondeau. Such articles include the world's only laterally
recorded cylinder, the 2-minute Blue Amberols used at the "miniature" Panama
Canal, the lost brown wax recording of a man born in 1790, some unusual Berliner discs,
unusual coin-op models, the very first Amet Echophone, the origins of the Zonophone, the
Chicago Hub-Gore Automaton, etc.
