Ken Bertschy's announcement that he had provided a old competition
manual in electronic form provoked many questions, some of which I
sought to answer in my usual not completely accurate way, as best as I
understood the problem.
After a bit more digging on the web this evening, I came across the
entire text of the copyright laws of the U.S. from the Library of
Congress. The document is provided in .pdf format from the following
URL:
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/title17/
The text of the entirety of the copyright laws can be downloaded from
the above site in .pdf format, which is a file approximately 566kb
large.
There is a proviso on the contents of that document, regarding late
amendments, which I think relates to electronic and internet
distribution of information, as follows:
NOTE: Published by the United States Copyright Office, Library of
Congress. Text revised to April
1999 with the exceptions of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright
Act, Public Law 105-304 and
the 1998 Sonny Bono Term Extension Act, Public Law 105-298.
Cheers, all.
