Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas

RE: copyright law, I have a copyright protected "Equipment Operations Manual." The corporation that owned the copyright has been out of business for several years. Some of the original equipment is still in use but the manual is scarce. Is it legal to copy and sell this manual.

thank you FB
