What WE need to do is introduce "copyright reform" to enourage the preservation of culture / the public domain.
Without copyright reform nothing in the future will go into the public domain.
Then this is a political battle, and we need allies and foot-soldiers. The foot-soldiers should and could be the people who have an interest in preserving and promoting public-domain works. For this reason -- among many others -- we really need to set up a worldwide network of PG-50, PG-60, and PG-70 libraries, and SOON. Like, five years ago soon.
