I think I understand where all the other points are coming from, but why 4.? Why would you want to stop people from scanning books that aren't already available online?
Because it saves time, and you won't end up doing all those long forgotten (for good reason) books you can buy for 1 cent.
And I'm also slightly curious about 5., I guess. Who would decide what's "important", and how?
There are lots of lists you could consult. I've seen one Schnitzler coming out of DP lately but not much else. Schnitzler, Wittgenstein, Freud, Hofmannsthal are important. The campfire girls of mars, which we churn out by the hundreds, are not important. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
