In most countries copyright is free, instantaneous and automatic.
It depends upon where it was published, when, the nationality and residence of the author and what copyright formalities were in effect at the time. For example, a book published prior to 1923 in the USA has no US copyright. A book published in the USA by a US author in 1923 with copyright notice and renewal is copyrighted for 95 years. A book published in 1972 without copyright notice never had any copyright. A book written in 1899 but NOT published has copyright until 120 years after creation.
The author must be an American, or live in America. The book has to be published in English in the US. It must by copyright , published and available for sale for the year it is eligible. And it must represent a distinguished contribution to children's literature.
If the data is copyright protected, the copyright holder has the right to control how the data is distributed. If the person who originally viewed the archived data went to a source that was authorized to share the data there is no problem. If the source was not not granted permission to share it, the person viewing it is probably not guilty of much (unless it can be shown that they did something illegal in order to access he source). Being granted permission to view the data does not grant the right to send it to someone else. That permission must be sought from the copyright holder. Think of it like buying and reading a book. If you buy the book, you have permission to read it. You can even give the book to someone else - but if you copy the book and send it to someone you have now violated the copyright.
