scatmanjack Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Now that these publications are gone (with several hundred dollars of my $$$) would trading PDF's be viable or frowned upon? Never got the Skaerbaek special issue due to website registration issue... Along with Issue 18+... USA Subscriber... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Well, a publication shutting down does not remove or revoke the copyright, which usually lasts decades, so making and distributing copies would technically violate copyright law. However, I’d say the most anyone would do to you for scanning PDFs, is send a strongly worded cease and desist letter, if they found out or cared.Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmanjack Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Would copyright not transfer to the various creditors in the event of bankruptcy? Not sure unpaid printers, designers, etc... would have much interest in legal expense for such an endeavor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the copyright still exists and whether or not you are likely to get sued are two different questions. Someone will still hold the IP rights.
