I spoke with a friend of mine who is a non-practicing attorney currently a
self employed editor/ indexer of literary works from all types of clients.
I let him review the email chain. He looked at our web presence and felt it
very clearly is for the benefit of education and hobbyist. In short there
is a history of sharing information in a not for profit manner? His real
question is what would one gain by legal action? No one wins and it’s
likely never to happen. If litigation did result, there is little to obtain
from PBS, hard to prove harm to the author, or affiliated organization.
He doubted a lawyer even as Pro Bono would take on the effort.
Hope thus helps to understand the risks?
Mike
Hope that helps,

Greetings,
Given that no one is attempting to sell anything, the publishing
organization is defunct, most authors have likely left this world and, in
any case, none of them would have been opposed to dissemination of their
work to current and future generations of horticulturalists: I think we
are
in safe territory.
Otherwise, we are choosing handwringing about truly insubstantial
copyright concerns over creating an archive of some very useful
horticultural information. I would go so far as to assert that The
Society
has a positive obligation to preserve/archive this content that more than
justifies the minor, hypothetical transgression.
The Society should make these pdfs available on the website. The worst
that could happen is a cease-and-desist letter (that will never come
because no one will pay a lawyer to write one). If that zero-likelihood
event were to occur, we could remove the pdfs from the website.
Let us be bold and make this contribution to horticultural posterity.

I think the International Bulb Society is no longer a viable organization
and as they were the copyright holder there is no longer a copyright

My fellow bulb enthusiasts:
I have started the process as time permits of scanning
and transferring Herbertia and Plant Life issues into pdf's. I hope to
make
an additional year available every week. I have started with the1953
edition. Go to the link below and click on the image to download the
PDF
file. Please note that these files are large and will take time to
download. I suggest you save the files on your hard drive or a memory
stick
to access in the future. Future issues to follow weekly. I am asking
nothing in return, read and enjoy.
