Re: (ET) Sharing of Documents etc. - copyright laws ?

["John B Reinhard" <reinharj frontiernet net>]

I thought, in layman's terms, that the copyright law says you are allowed 
to
make a copy of media (books, magazines, music, etc) for your own personal
use - NOT selling, lending, sharing, etc.

So, if Bill owns the copyrights, we can buy legal originals or copies of
manuals from him, make a copy to get dirty in the workshop, and keep the
clean 'master' from Bill in our clean, dry, storage areas.

Legally, we can't just make copies, until the copyright runs out.
When does that happen?
Has it been renewed?

Anybody clarify this ?
