Thanks for letting us know. New name definitely better as it reflects the international content of the site. Huge amount of UK stuff there.
The site is a tremendous resource for all of us. A real contribution to the online library of human knowledge.
I'm amazed that nobody has had a go at them for copyright infringement. While the copyright owners are unlikely to care about old issues of Practical Wireless etc some of the books, such as Briggs, are still available new.
Some copyright owners, such as Getty Images, are very pro-active about chasing infringement. Ruth, my partner, once wrote a book review and used an picture of the front cover. This would have been covered anyway by normal review and fair dealing provisions but she got explicit permission from the publisher. She got a nastygram from Getty Images. The book cover included an image that they owned. I think she told them where to go and they didn't bother her again.
