Legally, yes, we could pursue copyright issues, since the magazine and its
content is copyrighted, owned by the author and protected by the magazine's
copyright. However, as you might guess, it's unlikely that we ever would, so we
rely on folks' own ethical values to protect the material.
Since there are significant expenses associated with publication of the
magazine and maintenance of the website that can only be recovered by
membership
dues, we really would prefer that those who find this material useful can
allocate less than half a percent of their restoration budget to pay for their
membership in AHCUSA each year.
Cheers
