[Taxacom] Copyright

Thu May 10 18:32:40 CDT 2018

In Germany copyright expells 70 years after the death of the author. For 
a publication from 1819 we should assume that the authors are slightly 
more than 70 years dead...

Note that the 1819 work as such is free. This means only that anyone can 
digitise it. Anyone who digitises a work has the IP rights for the 
digitised copy. They do not need to provide free access to it. If Google 
digitises old works, they seem to check if BHL, archive.org or anyone 
provides a free digitised version. If so, then Google offers free 
access. My observation is that if not, Google does not provide free 
access to such old works.

Cheers
Francisco
