This is because anything that is recorded likely has some unknown owner that could make a claim anytime. The Pope may not realize this but new editions of public domain works have minor changes included and are then claimed by the changers. Anyway, tried to do a copyright status search lately for any work? Impossible. BTW, I have not seen anything that makes possesion of infringing copies of any work illegal. As we all know, RIAA claims that copying is stealing, but their position and the courts's position on POSSESION is unknow.
