Problem with your quote.
If the books are in libraries then people CAN read them.
Is the Atlantic trying to say that if a book was published between 1923 and 1963, that even if a person or entity owns a physical copy of said book that no one is allowed to read it.
I call either bad journalism or very bad phrasing.
Note: The article said books not electronic copies of the book.
Oh and on the physical copies, if I owned one, I could a) sell it, b) loan it to someone, c)donate it to a charity, d)throw it in the trash, e) make book trees, f) make a book safe or I could read it.
Sorry, I just don't see the big deal that a person can't get every book ever published.
Though if someone knows where I can get Mastering the Art of French Cooking cheap (paper not e) let me know. Which was published in 1961.
