Dear Jimmy
It has come to our attention that there is some confusion regarding the copyright status of the Royal Society's digital journal archive.
The entire digital archive is covered by copyright. This mean that systematic downloading and hosting by third parties is prohibited.
Thank you for your attention.

You know it's when I see things like this that I become tempted to try and trigger that test case I've been wanting to see. But I think for now it is best that we let our friends across the pond deal with this under their mildy more sane if more confusing copyright system.
