Question for moderator and model builders
Question for moderator and model builders
I have for a number of years collected items that reference the hobby of modeling and miniture building. Magazines I have are of Strategy& Tactics, Campaigns, Military History, Signal Productions and others dating way back into the 70s. many have how to illustrations on painting uniforms and equipment of various styles of equipment. These magazines are no longer in print. if proper credit is given to original authors is there an interest here in the information? if there is I would be more than willing to post threads on the data and scan the information to the thread so a new generation can share of the data.
An example of what i am talking about are articles like the following:
1.)Building a mideval diorama
2.)conversion techniques
3.)Primers of Modeling
4.)testing Polly S
5.) The defense at Isandlawana and Rorkes drift
6.) Gorget comparisons
7.) Painting with Acrylics
8.) the giant grenadiers of potsdam
this was the example from just one magazine.
i will await your comments

Hi ckleish, that's a very generous offer and I have to consult with Marcus and the other moderators before I can answer. It strikes me though that the copyright doesn't expire simply because the magazine is out of print. Someone may still own the rights to the contents of the magazines. I'm not terribly familiar with copyright law and internet use, so it's best that I answer your friendly offer after consultation with Marcus and the gang.
Best Regards, David

Just a thought if the articles are quoted with a bibliography isnt it just like a term paper if credits are given? Strategy and tactics as an example was a gaming magazine owned by SPI a gaming company now out of business. Stock was purchased by two succesive companies also out of business. Articles purduced were often submissions to surround the game. i would think bibliographies giving credit would satisfy anyones legal situation. But, i will do whatever you recommend for good of forum.
Actually, the copyright expires 90 years (or something) after it's applied to a certain merchandice.David C.
