Copyright is in effect, banning books from being on stock. If you consider yourself as a library, and I hope that you do, then you should be able to create a site and place any and all books that you would like onto that site, for any and all users to download and read.
To me it seems like a grey area, where you actually are allowed to do what was mentioned above, but you are not allowed to make a profit from the practice. That's fine with me, We should just be more open about it and really let the knowledge flow.

I'm not sure what the holocaust has to do with copyright either, and the dropping of the abomb is way out there, but all things are related, maybe we will find the links one day and stop these types of things from occuring in the future, abolishment of copyright is a step in this direction.
