The issue of copyright has always been a sticky issue. I don't think
there is a problem copying something for your own personal use but
putting something on a website for all to see and download would
definitely be very iffy. The Association has permission to reproduce
any of LBSC's material in connection with 2½" stuff and there is a
project in hand to publish the Shop, Shed, and Road articles in book form.
I am not sure if there is any difference between you borrowing
articles etc from a library say and copying them for your own use or
someone else doing it on your behalf. I often scan articles from ME
etc for other people for their own use only and would not dream of
selling or publishing said articles. I have noticed though that copies
of plans and construction articles often appear for sale on Ebay which
must be breaking copyright.

PS LBSC died on November 4th 1967 so 70 years after will be 2037!
