Subject:  Lone Ranger novels copyright

Martin,

I was simply passing on information.  I had nothing to do with the scan and
I have no idea what the legal status is.  I suggest that, since you seem to
have proof of the copyright renewal, you write to Dr. Gregory B. Newby
directly with your concerns.  He is the head of PG and approves all
copyright clearances.  <gbnewby@[removed]; I'm sure he would be happy to
pull any books still under copyright if you can point out the renewal record
from the copyright office.  Fortunately, renewal records are online, but you
probably wouldn't be interested since they are "free" scanned copies.  All I
ask is that you please don't shoot the messenger in the future.  I'm simply
passing on information which is related to classic radio.  I'm not that much
into westerns and I don't really care if it's pulled or not.

[ADMINISTRIVIA: Um, let's all take a breath here; I'm pretty confident
Martin's comments weren't targeted at the original poster. Not speaking for
anyone but myself, I'm grateful for _both_ posts.  --cfs3]
