Most of the books in the PCMLibrary are in the public domain in the US and life+70 countries anyway so all this moaning is silly. I would expect people will tend to nominate and vote for books that they can legally access over any they can't, just like they do already, so the whole thing will sort itself out.

After all, people could dip into the darknet for any book that is chosen and they don't seem to do this. [satire] I propose that we do not allow any book available in the darknet to be nominated. [/satire]

I voted for the category because it is another month of Classics, with the bonus that it celebrates the work people here have done.
