No -- it is absolutely not in the public domain -- it is a copyrighted
article and the owner is The Economist. I went through the
procedures necessary to secure permission to put the article on a Web
site at Virginia, but in extending this courtesy the copyright holder
is not giving up intellectual or commercial rights to the material.

Generally, everything that I have heard about this operation suggests that one
should stay away from the Parsippany disk peddlers. The quality of their disks
is so-so (I'm told), but the contents are even less worthwhile: often old stuff
that is available because it is out of copyright. It seems to be something
like a garage operation of low quality.
On the whole, most of what is available on cd-rom of that ilk is not very good:
more amusing than useful. The OED, on the other hand, is quite another matter,
but that's not what you asked about.
