Dear Donat, Thanks for pointing out the $39 fee that OUP asks for 1 day of access to the PDF file of the entire article that appeared in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America in 1908..
In my posting I did not mention the text you quote because subscribers to the GOAL list who are at institutions that subscribe to the ESA Annals are spared seeing the text that is below the notice of copyright in the page that most GOAL subscribers saw. This shorter version of the page is also what ESA members see—provided they are using computers that have cookies that reveal they are ESA members and therefore entitled to free access to the OUP archive of ESA back files.

In doing so, I found notices of copyright on abstracts of ESA articles from 1908 forward. For example, see this abstract of an article published in 1908 in ESA’s Annals: http://aesa.oxfordjournals.org/content/1/3/179. You will see under the title of the article a DOI followed by “First published online: 1 September 1908”, a claim that is difficult to square with the history of the internet. • Beneath the abstract is this claim to copyright: “© 1908 Entomological Society of America.” Question: Do those who make PDFs of journal articles that were never copyrighted have a valid claim to a copyright of their PDF of the article?
