[Milsurplus] Scanned material and the resellers

[Hubert Miller]

I have the complete run of the U.S. Navy magazine "Electron", which, just going by my memory, ran something like 1945 - 1953, maybe a couple years plus on either end, I don't recall.
This is a lot of info. Not quite as cool as it sounds because a lot is on VHF and radar maintenance points.
But I wonder, as I move to downsize, if it gets scanned - then the next week someone else is offering it on Ebay on a compilation DVD for $14.99, right? After all that work by someone,
there's really no way to protect it, I suppose. Maybe watermark some photos, but I'm sure Ebay and Amazon don't give a rat's pass about copyright, right, for example, going by Amazon's
smiling on all counterfeit book copiers selling there.  Possibly the only way to protect this would be like the Wireless No.19 group in the U.K., which makes you jump thru some hurdles to
access a limited amount of material. Which I have no opposition to, by the way.
Just thinking, and wondering what insights you might have.
