Does anyone know the legal basis of asking this kind<br/>
of money for the maps? Who owns the copyright of these<br/>
maps? <br/>
<br/>
Should the copyright not now be the property of all<br/>
workers and farmers of the former East Germany, since<br/>
they have owned the maps all along anyway? Or, at<br/>
least, some non-profit organisation of the united<br/>
Germany?<br/>
<br/>
Does anyone know if the maps are on public display in<br/>
any library or archive? If so, copies should be<br/>
possible to obtain at a more modest fee, and certainly<br/>
scans at an even more welcomming price.<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;d be interested to share costs if anyone should plan<br/>
to obtain such copies.<br/>
