914 Workshop Manuals Options

I'm one of the (many) people who have a PDF version of these, and always seem to lose on the eBay auctions for the real deal. The local Porsche dealership here said that they are NLA (is this true?).

So that leads me to ask, is this something that is reprintable?

I believe you can renew the copyright at will or with each publishing.

This is from the Libary of Congress:

Works published before 1923 are now in the public domain. (Circular 1, "Copyright Basics," page 6, supplemented by SL 15, "New Terms for Copyright Protection.")

Published works copyrighted 1923 through 1977 that are still in their original term of copyright or whose copyright was renewed are protected for 95 years from the copyright date. (Circular 1, "Copyright Basics," page 6, supplemented by SL 15, "New Terms for Copyright Protection." (Copyrights registered up until Dec. 31, 1963 expired after 28 years, unless the copyright was renewed. The only way to determine whether items published from 1924 through 1963 are still in a renewal term of copyright is to do a copyright search and establish that the item was copyrighted and that the copyright was renewed.)
