The FAA had to go all electronic on their Aviation Inspectors Handbook due to the constant updating of it. It was just too expensive to keep up with paper books that end up in the file 13 every other month or so. Patent and copyright laws were intended to protect those who apply for them so that others won't try to profit from their work. If profit isn't in the mix then no rules are violated.

Most car clubs gain operating funds by publications that they offer members and the general public. I don't mind donating to their cause but then I'm a member of a few of them so I pay my dues as well. Folks that get heavily involved in restorations generally purchase some of these publications unless they inherit them from senior family members that share the same interest. It's not easy to perform major repairs without more than just a little bit of guidance.
