Also, someone has proposed that copies of the

hope that they will verify that the magazine has entered the public domain
and is NOT still under copyright.

Copyrights are not just right, they are the law, in fact, international
law. As a law abiding citizen and author, I respect this. I know that it is
very easy sometimes to turn a blind eye to "little" infringements of this
law, sometimes in the spirit of perhaps helping someone out. This doesn't
change a thing, it is still a violation of the law.

Hi Paul,
    Good point, but I strongly suspect that the 1918 original editions of 
the magazine are no longer copyright protected. As to CSNs, the question 
would be whether the edition from which they were scanned was still 
protected. That is a much more likely possibility.
