I called up Sir-Tech, and they no longer owned the rights, and that 360 Pacific
now does. I called them up and they said they don't sell it. I doubt that
the author has rights to it, as Sir-Tech told me to call 360 Pacific. Sending
him a check might not do anything, as you don't know who owns it. Perhaps
calling Sir-Tech and asking them about the status of existing copies of Rescue
Raiders would be helpful.

    That's why you take notes!

    Seriously, a library should register with the copyright center.  Many
do.   Obviously many others don't.  
    But there's another point in all of this:  Practically everyone violates
copyrights from time to time. It's a hot issue indeed.
