Paper titles used to be much more fun. (Fun fact aside: JSTOR wants 20 USD for a 103 year old article) https://www.jstor.org/stable/2331747?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents …pic.twitter.com/ZuoXrfQNqg
Why such absurd prices? Copyright. Why does it last so long? Special interests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk862BbjWx4 … @KirkegaardEmil

If it's 103yo, I'm fairly sure it's out of copyright. Almost everything pre-1922 in the US is now PD.
-
they can maintain a new copyright from date of re-typesetting, for the digital version; we're SOL without an original
-
Shouldn't that fall under a non-transformative 2D reproduction and so PD per Corel?
-
I'm unsure - but if they re-type and re-layout the article, I'd think not simply based on what I've seen done.

Ofc nothing stops'em from guessing/lying *claiming* to have a copyright, or making u agree to contract/license
-
Nothing prevents them from selling a public domain article either. Pearson died in '36. Not sure which rule applies...

But their site claims copyright from 1914 to Biometrika Trust. US law is... complicated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act …
