Creating a website that contains the sum of human knowledge would be almost legal. There are a few things that are forbidden, but you can get away with a lot provided that it is unbiased. Creating a website that copies information (i.e. the bits) from one place to another is frequently illegal, even when the author offered up that information free of charge.

I think I understand what you are saying, in your mind creating a website that has information about a book would be fine but actually posting the book to go along with the information about the book would not be fine? Instead we should post one click purchase links through Amazon?
I must admit to not quite knowing what knowledge is, it's easier to just say the universe is the sum of all knowledge.
