Is the book Understood Betsy in the public domain?

The story itself is public domain.However it is legal for anyone to take a public domain work and "improve" it (e.g. making it part of a collection of works, adding comments or notes, correcting apparent typos and errors) and republish under a new copyright. But this new copyright does not make the original story by itself copyrighted, only the "improved" work by that "editor".


What are the effects of copyright on book publishing?

Copyright was originally designed to protect book publishers from having works that they'd invested a lot of money in cheaply reprinted by others, diluting the market. Without the exclusive rights provided by copyright law, publishers would have a difficult time providing quality product (well-edited, on long-lasting paper, etc.) because they wouldn't be guaranteed this window of time in which to make back their investment. You might note that publishers offering reprints of public domain materials (such as Dover) are not editing at all, and therefore have many typographical errors, and also print on much cheaper paper, with inexpensive binding that can fall apart in a matter of a few years. Publishers may also have an opportunity to further license materials to which they hold the rights, such as play or movie adaptations, setting lyrics to music, translations, and more.

How has the prevalence of Internet aided copyright infringement?

The exclusive rights copyright law confers to the creator of a work are the rights to copy, alter, distribute, and perform or display it. Computers make all of these acts very easy and very cheap, often with little or no degradation of the original (i.e., a digital copy of an mp3 is identical to the original, while an analog copy of an analog original will have errors interpolated into it). The internet then makes distribution in particular extremely simple.
