Yep. Or at least that's how it worked out with revision of copyright and so forth. Of course at the time I got the CD (of the Shadow) they hadn't yet been even accused of wrong doing. And the ones that were posted here were early ones (and were posted before MR went to the +70 copyright some months back). I do understand why they were pulled and was just stating that some were here and were pulled. I imagine it's hard to find them (legally) to purchase here in the U.S. too. At least I haven't seen any offers up of late. Of course the same people who claim to own Doc Savage and others also claim to have ownership rights over most Old Time Radio programs (which they will sell you) a few episodes at a time for a lot of $.
