search my original message for "youtube" and you'll find this:

i don't.  but the problem is that it is the internet archive
who has been doing all the scanning, except for google.

most p.g. e-books come from internet archive these days.

if they stop scanning because they think they've done it all,
the public-domain is going to be unnecessarily truncated...

but maybe i've misunderstood what brewster is saying:
