And I am telling you that I need to be able to copy and share all books.

If you feel that one organization/individual has the right to say whether or not a text belongs in the public domain, then why can't I make this determination as well? The answer is that I can, and so can you.

I really think the problem stems from people being so attached to things, as if you could actually bake an apple pie from scratch or something!
