Popular Electronics archives
This site is one nasty lawyer's letter away from being lost forever. It's the unpaid[1] labor of love of a single person[2], far more than Popular Electronics[3], but appears to be unauthorized.<p>Whoever currently holds the rights to these journals should have no financial reason to order the material taken down, but they can still do so "just because". This huge historical resource depends on the whims of old copyright holders and their lawyers.<p>Someone else here has pointed out that the Popular Electronics scans are also on the Internet Archive. I wonder how they deal with it; the issue must come up often for them.<p>[1] "There are no ads or things for sale on the site. I've been in radio for better than 50 years.
