No one is stopping any American, from going to the repository where the  
originals items are stored and viewing them.  You know this, I don't know  why you 
keep pushing on that button, when it's clear that it's a non  starter.
 
The companies are not trying to prevent people from viewing PD items.   They 
are trying to prevent the viewing of their own copies of those items.   Not 
the items.  The copies.
 
You want readers of this thread to think that the only issue here is  
copyright law, but it's not.  Never was.  That's just a handy crutch  for people who 
are intent on theft to justify their actions.
