 I was just wondering what the rules and regs are regarding ME articles particularly the older one.  I was having a browse through some old 60’s magazines, and i found quite a few of the articles and plans can still of use today, however the problem is getting hold of them (apart from ebay or ME groups),  is it possible to put any of these old articles on the website?

HI,

 

We are for the moment publishing authors for whose articles that we definately have copyright for.

 

We are seeking permission to publish other authors, and will let you know.

Hi There
Copyright in an article as originally written or modified stays with the author until 75 years after his death.
The copyright of an article as laid out and published belongs to Myhobbystore Ltd. We can supply photocopies and also reprint the entire magazine including all articles and adverts as originally published as a printed magazine, on a CD or on the web.

We can’t reuse the articles on their own.

The author cannot offer reprints of the article as laid out.

Some authors such as Edgar westbury and Martin Evans were employed by Model Engineer and their articles are copyright Myhobbystore Ltd.

That is why the recent free plans in Model engineer were by these two authors.

I have permission from Tom Walshaw’s (Tubal Cain) widow to put his articles on the web.
If anyone reading this has written for ME or MEW and would like their articles to appear on the web, please email me at
david.clark@myhobbystore.com

regards David

Hello David,

You can put my chess article and the ball turning article when published, on the website. I have no objections.

With respect, David, Copyright is not for 75 years after author’s death, it is 70 years.

 

It was increased from 50 to 70 years by the Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1989 and is now I believe uniform throughout the EC.
