Now wait a second—this might be a
good thing. Hear me out. Since Google is going to be responsible for initially setting up the Authors/Publishers Rights Database, and apparently Google's information is pretty screwy, then maybe we'll be able to use this bad information to make the claim that works by Tom Wolfe, Stephen King, Raymond Chandler, Dorothy Parker,* etc are in the public domain. Anyone with me???
