Cooperstown I am not an expert on copyrights but if the paper is recent the publisher of the newspaper owns the copyright. Otherwise I would think that it is public domain. Interested to hear from others. Honor >>> [log in to unmask] 03/11/03 02:56PM >>> Hello list, I have a question I hope someone can answer. I was at SUNY Oneonta, and they had the Cooperstown, NY newspaper on microfilm, and I ran into something I have never seen before. At the begining, the microfilm was copywrited by the NYS Historical Society. Basicly saying that you can't make copies FROM that microfilm and publish it, without consent from the NYSHS. Now my question is this. I've never seen this copywrite notice on any other microfilm. For example. the Sidney, NY historical society has their newspapers on microfilm, without a copywrite notice. Does this mean that the Sidney microfilm is not copywrited by their historical society?
