My original question dealt with books which are out of print in all legitimate forms.
Perhaps I should ask a new question:
When a book is out of print, may the public ethically presume that the copyright holder no longer cares?
A book may be out of print for a short while when it changes publishers. But if a book is out of print for a certain period, say one year, I think that the public may assume that the work has been abandoned, and proceed accordingly.

Yes, I know what you original asked. And I gave my response by asking another question many pages ago.
I really like your new question and hope you receive many excellent replies.
