I like this idea a lot. And whether or not Alex is in a position to get the affected books into the hands of a Canadian organization (his hands may be tied in some manner) there's nothing that would prevent one or more of us from doing it. I, for one, would find it a terrible waste of people's efforts to see the books simply become unavailable except as they may appear already on pirate sites (which is a disgusting thought, I may add). So I would certainly be willing to help except that as a U.S. citizen, I'm not willing to perform the actual downloads and transfers. I would, however, be willing to contact suitable recipients (starting with PG Canada) and also help identifying which titles in the library are at risk. Is anyone else here supportive of that notion?
