Unless you delete your copy when they have it, and they delete theirs 
after sending it back to you...

Simpler would be to just throw the file on a flash drive and loan 
/that/, I guess.

Well, if the author was a human people, it's 70 years past its death.
If a company, it's 95 years after publication or 120 years after
creation (but unpublished..)... In the USA.

other countries have different rules, and might have different
calculation and duration (e.g. the Bern convention only requires 50
years past the death of the author, or 50 years since creations for
cinema, 25 years for photo).

So, even if Mickey Mouse is not public domain worldwide, it might be
already free of use in some countries. Just be cautious with the borders
you might cross.

The real shame with MM, is that the Oswald's case was the root of the
story. Next time, let the rabbit to the drawing man!

It would still constitute distribution over a network, which is illegal
in many countries, even those were borrowing of physical copies is legal.

yep, because that's the very purpose of technology: to make life more difficult.

No, their purpose is to make life more /expensive/. (Well, for people 
who aren't RIAA members, anyway.)

The book 2001 was better than the movie 2001.  The movie 2010 was better than
the book 2010 (although I don't know why the movie had to kill off Brailovsky).
In both the movies and the books, I could follow 2010 much easier than 2001.
