When you say you are "taking interesting articles from 10-12 newspapers," do
you mean you are "taking" them off of microfilm or from the original
newspapers? This is confusing.
Also, if you are "taking" these articles from a copyrighted microfilm (now
owned by UMI or some other company), you may have a problem creating a
scrapbook of selected articles. And what do you intend to do with this
newly created scrapbook? Publish it and sell copies?
II think your project needs more clarification concerning possible copyright
infringement.

Hello,
You replied to my email on the NY State History email list about
copywrite, and I had one more question.
I had a new idea of taking about 10-12 newspapers from 1905, and taking
interesting articles from each newspaper and making a "Scrapbook" type of
book out of it. Obvously, with the microfilm being copywrited, I wondered
how that would reply to the actual words? For example. Could I retype the
artcles to bypass the copywrite situation with the microfilm.
Obviously the newspapers are not copywrited, because anything before 1924
has lost its copywrite.
I guess I am hoping that the microfilm copywrite is JUST under the microfilm
and not the material.
Thank you for all your help with this my my previous questions.
