As long as I'm thinking about copyrights, I have one more question.

I'd like to make an epub of a book were written in Old English with ligatures,etc. Recently a book was published but the font has been changed from Old English to modern English.

Does the change create a valid copyright in the same way that a translation seems to do? I should point out that there is the ABBYY Fraktur OCR edition that will automatically change the ligatures to modern text without any human intervention as would be required in the case of a language translation.

The Fraktur is extremely expensive, and while I can scan and correct a recent Arno Press facsimile of the Discourses, manual corrections are very time-consuming because ABBYY FR10 cannot recognize the ligatures and will process them as highly variable errors. I've done this before with 3 books and proofing each required several days.
