Very interesting! I'm glad to know about this and
about your other astronomy reprints. Perhaps in
100 years you'll be reprinting my stuff

Michael et al--

or perhaps it will all be online in the public domain (after this amount
of
time, copyright should be a non-issue, right?).

Maybe we can do what Disney Studios did -- every 25 years persuade Congress
to extend the copyright another 25 years

(There was a recent extension in the duration of US copyrights that was
motivated by the desire to keep the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons from
going into the public domain.)

But I don't need anybody paying me royalties in 100 years... I'll be happy
if anyone is just reading the books...
