I'll let you know what I think

 

From what I can piece together, some 99 years ago someone wrote a story.  Enough people like it, so a publishing company invested their time and resources to have a book published. 

Lawyers at the time reported to the publisher that they should reserve all the rights, so the lawyers got paid for their advice and this information was placed inside the book for all to read. 

Now, all parties to that transaction are gone.  The contracts between parties are gone and even the offices are now occupied by others, who have no idea that any of that ever transpired.  In fact, the only footprint remaining is this copy of the book. 

I’m thinking that maybe I’ll read the story.
