[Paddlewise] Copying legally . . .

If NOAA charts are public domain . . . why doesnt someone do us all a 
big favor and scan them and post them on the net?   Might put a few 
NOAA dealers out of business, I suppose, but why should we all pay 
for what we have already bought (as taxpayers) anyway?

 In fact, why doesnt NOAA just post its charts digitally?  Could it 
be that the people who make money reproducing them and selling them 
would howl too loudly?
