I'm familiar with the Internet Archive. Someone recently told me about another organization that is trying to digitize books in the public domain as fast as they can. It's kind of sad to see all that virgin territory being gobbled up. On the other hand, there's enormous potential for not just reproducing public domain books but improving them.
Wikipedia is bizarre. They've made some great contributions, but their political content isn't just stupid - the folks at Wiki appear to be paid propagandists. I'm going to be writing a lot about Wikipedia in my political series.
I know I can't Copyright stuff that's in the public domain, but I figured I can put a copyright notice on the front cover, then explain inside the book that it applies to stuff I created.
Creative Commons is an interesting idea, but would I be able to sell it? And, if so, couldn't someone else just copy my book and sell it themselves?

Accidentally double posted.
I think creative commons is shared worlds nor the right to publish your book.
I know someone here does CC.
