Legality of redistributing old Amiga mags and cover disks

[LoadWB]

I have had the fortune of coming across a number of Amiga magazines in great condition, including some .info, Commodore Magazine, Amazing Amiga, Amiga World, Amiga Resource, and Ahoy's Amiga User.  Also a couple of AW and AA technical resources.  (And premier issue of AW!)

I have asked IDG about Amiga World, and have yet to hear a response.  I am of course curious about the rest of them.  There are a number of articles which are still relevant, as well as ads which may point to existence of missing or forgotten hardware and software, product reviews, release announcements, etc.

One article in particular comes from Amiga World, December 1987, discussing BBS's the same way people discuss the Internet, about perverts and terrorists, etc.  Several others discuss copyright law and fair use in contexts of media production and programming.

Is there a current project to scan such items to which I might loan them?  Would this be a worthwhile project, given the blessings of original publishers (if still around?)

This is the reply from IDG:

Dear Alan -
The Amiga world Magazines are no longer a print title and there are no current plans to revive it.  However, I have passed your inquiry along to the original publisher and if they are interested, they will be in touch with you.

Thanks,
Teresina

No longer a print title?  DUH!  :roll:

Anyway, I'll see how far this gets.  Should I get (at least) IDG's permission, is anyone interesting in either helping out or contributing missing issues?
