[Coco] RE: Barden

[John M. Eicher]

Earlier in the list it was pointed out about the copyright holder being
RS/Tandy. Basically the search for Barden is twofold (for me at least):

 1) The odds of success are likely greater if the author himself
approaches Radio Shack/Tandy
 2) I am curious if he is alive and would like him to know his work is
still appreciated.

No problem on the monkey wrench as it is appreciated. As far as making
copies, if I had the hosting, book (that I was willing to sacrifice for
scanning), and the time, I personally would just archive it for all.
However, that is me and I would not dream of asking another to take the
same risk.

When I see boundries like this that are somewhat silly, I generally just
cross them and don't look back. ;>)

*** List, I have not done any more on searching. I have to go out of
town for a week (I am actually 2 hours late leaving). I will be checking
email as I can on the web so replies will likely be slooooowww. ***

I hate to throw a monkey wrench in the search for Bill Barden, but Tandy
may hold the copyright to the CoCo assembly language book. If so, you'll
have to deal with their legal staff. I forget who I contacted, but they
might be willing to work with you since it's an item that no longer
generates income for them. I got permission to reprint all the CoCo
schematics in "Tandy's Little Wonder", but I had to send them a list of
everything I wanted to reprint. An entire book they might have a problem
with, especially putting it in the Public Domain. You might have better
luck getting permission to make a limited amount of copies, to be made
in a not for profit manner.
