A message was just posted on a CoCo (TRS80 Color Computer)
mailing list regarding the copyrights of vintage software.
I've reviewed the web-site referenced and it appears to be
VERY applicable for 5 1/4" media users, particularly those
with hard sectors :-)...
This site details the important exceptions to the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that apply to vintage
works. Check it out:

this links to:
http://www.copyright.gov/1201/docs/librarian_statement_01.html
So you may want to go there directly.

So does a 5 1/4" floppy (no longer made) or a ROM pak count?
