My friend is a copyright lawyer and works with software. I remember him telling me about a case he handled with a Mac Quadra in a patent litigation suit. I will ask him what his opinion is on older 68K Mac software and see what he says. We have worked on several projects together, but none that ever involved software.
We both are interested in sound formats used in motion picture film from the late 1920s to about the mid 1950s. We are part of a group that tracks down obscure literature, converts it to pdf files, and then gives it away free to researchers or any one else who is interested. Now and then he will step in when we need clarification before we can post a photo or some literature. Sometimes we will find a photograph that is, say, 65 years old, and some one still has a copyright on it. He has to mail the copyright owner a letter to ask permission to post the photograph and let others have a copy. We have never been turned down, but it takes time. In our work, it is always best to follow the law.
