Dear Bill,
it is not just the awful Google, Czech nat´l library too seems to have problems with reading our copyright law and thus disallows distant access to some of digitalised newspapers or Verne translations from 1870s, even though 1880s items are free to download. Probably the copyright law in continetal Europe is constructed the way to be unclear and ambiguous.
