Copies of service manuals on eBay

Post by dr1zsk1 » Tue Apr 01, 2014 10:42 am

There are a number of folks who claim that the copyright for the older John Deere manuals have run out and they are selling reproductions for xxx amount of money.

Does this make sense to ya'll - I know that an initial copyright expires at 50 years but if its something that is a proprietory publication renewal is a pretty simple process.

The reason I ask is that I have digital copies of the manuals that I bought from John Deere and they are handy as a new watch.
If man can break it man can fix it .. it just takes time and money.

Lots of different theories, lots of different stories, and I would guess somewhere in between lies the truth.
