Internet Archive — Pulp Fiction

A common question arises: Isn't this piracy? No. The Internet Archive operates under strict adherence to copyright law. For pre-1978 works, copyright lasts 95 years from publication. The Archive's pulp collection focuses on publications from 1920 to 1963 that failed to renew their copyright (a common occurrence for pulps, as publishers often went bankrupt).

The term "pulp fiction" originally referred to low-cost magazines printed on cheap wood pulp paper from the late 1890s through the 1950s. : This massive digital collection pulp fiction internet archive
