Really, the Theosophical Society is less affected by the copyright issues than many other organizations, for the most of its materials (and among them the most important ones) are in public domain.

They can be easily digitized and put online, and a good deal of that work is already done, but not be the structures of the Society, receiving our fees, but by enthusiasts, some of them aren't members at all. So the question is again not to the publishers but to the officials of the Society about efficiency of using the funds.
