Press release: THE FIRST PROJECT GUTENBERG CONSORTIUM CENTER IS OPEN!!! November 4, 2004 Today, on the one-third of a century anniversary date of Project Gutenberg, it is my pleasure to announce a site designed for the exchange of entire eBook collections-- The first of the Project Gutenberg Consortia Centers is located at a site designated by its initials: pgcc.net The mission of the Project Gutenberg Consortia Centers: to help people legally exchange eBook collections under the various new copyright laws. As you may know, different countries had copyright laws change drastically over the last few years, and we hear even more changes are coming at the end of this year. Therefore, we are making this effort to help those whom these copyright extensions will effect, to insure their continued abilities to provide free eBooks within rules of their new copyright laws; such as many EU countries, and apparently Australia at the end of this year, along with various other changes we will try to help everyone keep up with. We hope to be making similar announcements next year to let you know about more such sites under the laws of an assortment of countries worldwide.
