Could anyone advise me as to if and how I might share articles from old ('75-'85) cycling magazines with the rest of the list? I'm not concerned about the mechanics of doing it but with the legalities.
I've been looking at a number of older cycling magazines and a lot of the articles would make very interesting reading, I think, but I don't know how to handle copyright issues - I don't know if I'd be violating someone's rights, any laws, or both.
I know it's permitted to make brief quotations but I'd like to post some full articles, probably text only. Some of the authors are, of course, quite alive and well, but some of the publications, e.g., Cycling, are long since out of business, as are the companies on their mastheads.
Many thank in advance, and apologies for the off-topic question but the results would be beneficial and interesting to us all.
