I'm beginning to take this personally. Have you got any idea how many hours it takes to prepare a book for upload to the Patricia Clark Memorial Library? Work done for no pay whatsoever, provided by the uploaders to the library just in order to provide to the public beautiful ebook editions of PD books - often out-of-print books that are not readily available otherwise. All this is done for the love of literature, and not in the spirit of "gimme gimme" at all. And the whole venture would be impossible if you had your eternal copyright.
