| Publisher Description: Reprint of the fourth volume of Yogananda's East-West magazine. This fourth volume of East-West Magazine (1929) consists of 12 issues stretching from 1929 sporadically through early 1932. On p. 30 of the third issue the following statement is made: "May - June, 1929, issue of EAST-WEST was the last issue published, before this present issue of November-December, 1929. The July-August issue and the September-October issue had to be omitted due to Swami Yogananda's absence in Mexico." For reasons of cost and expediency I will divide the remaining issues of Volume IV into smaller sets such as this one. The "Cost and expediency" rule has to do with my printing company being unable to handle more than 400 pages per book. The cost of printing smaller sets of Volume IV can be contained, I believe, at around $6.00 per set. Two different Federal appeals courts (with three judge panels) ruled that Self-Realization Fellowship's copyright control of Yogananda's magazines came under the provisions of the 1909 US Copyright Act. The first ruling was 1995 (https: //openjurist.org/206/f3d/1322/self-realization-v-ananda) and the second was 2000 (https: //openjurist.org/206/f3d/1322/self-realization-v-ananda). In fact both SRF, Inc. and the defendant Ananda Church of Self-Realization argued their cases on the common agreement that all Yogananda's works were subject to the 1909 US Copyright Law. In 2002 the jury upheld the Federal Judges' previous decisions, only acknowledging that SRF, Inc. had copyright control and ownership over the series of 9 magazine articles in which Yogananda's commentaries on scriptures were serially published. This Volume is offered in the hope that many people will enjoy once again the insight provided in the essays contained herein. It is presented under the SRF, Inc. assumption in their lawsuit that these articles are governed by the 1909 US Copyright Law provisions. Their assumption having been so argued in court, then this series of new looks at old issues may be done both ethically and legally. |
