Hell will freeze over long before the distribution of hard taxed dollars for pinko projects like the presertation and free distribution of knowledge no longer bound by copyrights. Which makes you wonder at the amount of political pull and/or work of men of good faith to impose a deadline on copyrighted material rendered useless by mass culture, mass media and mass manufacturing. Imagine if people start trading the imediate like newspapers, magazines, self help books, Dan Brown for the non-taxable persistant like real literature, poetry, philosophical treaties and within the next 50 years a whole century of music, tv programming, and cinema. We of the geekdom see technology as the means to so much, or at least that which doesn't prejudice others, but we forget it's not about improving, but about profit. "What does it profit a men not to profit?"
