I may not agree with what you have to say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
Once we end copyright once and for all, and to be sure all that is needed to end it is the acceptance by enough people that it is simply over, we can begin to create the last library, the first library filtered by any who wishes to contribute. Sites like wikipedia and various others are good first steps, but they are hindered by in their mission by copyright.
I am upset by the fact that libraries are allowed to upload books onto our ereaders and then required to delete them a week later, because copyright law tells them to.
LIBRARIANS SHOULD KNOW BETTER,
yes that is a paraphrased quote from the LOTR movie, which instilled deep knowledge into me. We can never tell just what part of which text will help us in our journey, one of the reasons copyright should be swept away.
This idea is not some random thought that a few cranks spout at various times in various places around the internet, this is THE IDEA.
I hope to contribute to its acceptance in every way that I can, and I hope you will do the same.
