The copyright system is broken. The government keeps extending copyright and ultimately it is destroying most creative endeavours. We have millions, if not trillions of works, documents, publications, books, musical composition, tv programs and movies that have been abandoned; are not readily available in the information age.

Copyright holders have now been granted a period of up to a century from the date of publication to suppress works and extract profit from the work... on the inverse millions of works sit in a state of limbo where no one owns them, no one cares about them, no one makes them available in order to provide additional profit to greedy corporations like Disney.

I contacted Postmedia to licence a article published in the Windsor Star in 1997 (almost 30 years ago). I do this to share a historic air force story from over 80 years ago. They don't share it, they make nothing from it. They don't care to share the story. But for a non-commercial licence to share the story... $250. I would make nothing sharing it. I would credit them for their work. They want me to cough up $250 to share and credit their work.

Their are irrelevant and really they need to go bankrupt.

Chater, Manitoba - Post War

I found this article and figured it was worthy of a repost. Post war the hanger at Chater, Manitoba was kept in use by the RCAF to store a collection of Aircraft for future museum use. In the April 1959 issue of the Voxair, they published an article showcasing the old Hanger and the content within.

I am processing a batch of the Arrowhead Tribune magazine from 1966, Marville, France. The magazine was produced by 1 Wing RCAF.
The 17 June 1966 issue had this "advertisement" in the front cover. I thought it was entertaining.
