Some time after Electronics Australia closed its doors, Silicon Chip Publications Pty Ltd purchased the titles Electronics Australia, Electronics Today (International), Radio, TV & Hobbies, Radio & Hobbies and Wireless Weekly, along with the copyright to original (non-submitted) material published in those magazines.

[3] The copyright of some submitted projects and articles for those old magazines technically still remains with the original authors.

This is why Silicon Chip have not released Electronics Australia back-issues on CD, as they did with the older Radio TV & Hobbies.

Except that copies are not provided in cases of articles where there is a question over the ownership of copyright.
