Hi All, I took the time to read the POST article. Newby says its legal!!????? Well, according to the small print: [3] Pay a trademark license fee to the Project of 20% of the net profits you derive calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. If you don't derive profits, no royalty is due. Royalties are payable to "Project Gutenberg Association/Carnegie-Mellon University" within the 60 days following each date you prepare (or were legally required to prepare) your annual (or equivalent periodic) tax return. O.K. Amazon is not selling on the PG trademark, As it is evident that they are using PG material they should be paying PG something. Yes, proving this legally is difficult and probably costly. But, Newby is absolutely wrong it is not legeal!! To avoid legal battles, why ask amazon to donate couple of thousands to PG. It is peanuts to them and alot to PG! regards Keith.
