>Does something as old as my copy go out of copyright?  

Not until 2017.  That assumes they don't renew the copyright for another 25
years (this is also shot from the hip, but I THINK these numbers are correct).

>Can scanned pages from an old text be distributed legally?

Nope.  It is still copyrighted.  Remember that little line "can not be
reproduced by any means, mechanical or..., without the expressed permission
of..."?  That includes your scanner.  You have to get there permission first
if you want to be legal about it.

And congress just passed a new law making it illegal to use electrinic 
equipment to illigally copy copyrighted matterial.  Sort of like passing
a law making it illegal to use a color printer to counterfit dollars.  That
diffinately falls into the "no shit" catagory.  But then, this IS congress
I am talking about!
