Harry -

I even tried googling the text of the notice, and then just shorter parts of it, and I got surprisingly few hits (two). None of them would then take me to the notice itself.

Perhaps this isn't the best way of disseminating information that you regard as important?

Perhaps the text of the notice should be available somewhere on the MobileRead website? If not, perhaps the posting guidelines should be updated to remove the encouragement to upload books that are PD only in the US - your own long piece on US copyright law, for example, is surely now redundant, or could at least be accompanied by a public health warning.

On the substance of the change, I am surprised and perhaps a little disappointed. I thought that one of the reasons the MR site was hosted on a Canadian server was because of Canada's more reasonable copyright laws.
