Often modelers are looking for articles from old issues of magazines like MR, and they post their requests on e-mail lists or wherever. Just as often someone speaks up about the legality of photocopying or scanning articles. Can someone at MR clear this up please? If I want an older article is there a legal problem with someone making me a copy for my own personal use? I can see a problem with publishing the article on a web page or otherwise, but one copy for personal use is different. And I know that MR and other mags do offer back issues for sale, but often that is just too inconvenient and slow. Thanks! Bob B in Canada
