Are Advertising Brochures Copyrighted?

I have been saving advertising brochures online for my reference, but is it legal? Am I infringing copyright law? I found this article that says…

. For most works created since 1978, the copyright lasts for 70 years after the death of the creator.
. The existence of unoriginal content in the advertising brochure does not negate the copyright protection on all other original material in the brochure.
. If an advertising brochure is created by a person under contract, rather than employment, then the copyright remains with the creator of the brochure, unless she expressly agrees in writing that the brochure is a work for hire.

In short, and from my limited understanding of the law, the owner of the brochure will print a copyright label somewhere if the material is NOT allowed to be reproduced. However, the images used in the brochure may be an issue, especially if they are rights-purchased from stock library.
