Hey Team,
I was always cautious not to scan magazine articles and share them online (so that people would go and buy the magazine rather than get the info for free). Do we now assume that sharing content is "free-for-all" if we want to scan and post old articles?

Do you mean old articles from just Non-Sport Update or from any magazine? I wouldn't. Not that I have the ability, which I don't, but why bother?

First, I would assume that someone may still have certain rights to the article and not like it.

Second, it takes your work and your time and who knows if anybody else cares? Part of the fun of collecting anything is finding it. Too many collectors demand that everything be handed right to them and they lose the whole point of having a hobby.

It's easy to drop a link to an online site if the article is already posted and I've done that, but that's as far as I'd go. That and just providing the basic info for anyone who'd like to read it or see a picture themselves, which I think is favor enough.

Has something happened that makes you think this may be okay?
