I'm wondering if we should host PG Canada on a US site, I'm sure that will upset the lawyers, especailly those involved with Gone With The Wind.
I assume you mean that we shouldn't be doing so, and that this list is hosted in the US? I note that http://projectgutenberg.ca/ is hosted on Compu-SOLVE Internet Services out of Midland and Barrie Ontario. Is this a site that can host lists? Is the ISP there on-side with the project such that even if Canada gets a "claim and censor" regime that they will appropriately hand these notices off to PG Canada lawyers rather than acting on them? I also run an ISP out of Ottawa, and can host any mailing lists/sites/domains/etc that are needed. I may not have the bandwidth if the site gets huge, but that would be a type of success we can wish for and get funding for when the time comes. -- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> Code is Law: how software code regulates the activities of citizens, and acts similar to law.
