Five months after I started this one out and just now that I remembered to update. What was the stimulus? A blogsite which was closed down because of copyright issues on the books that he wanted to share with his "friends". Didn't memorize the blog site but I will track it down again later. I just want to vent this frustration.
The owner wanted to share classics and other great books to anyone in the world through online but of course, the publishers and their lawyers are up against it. It just comes to money matters again. It's really all just money. Who can blame the developing countries that have not even heard of such great books for remaining as "ignorant" when there is really no access to these? Sure there are libraries, but come on, I bet it's not even in every public library in the U.S. (Anybody is welcome to correct me on that).
It all again boils down to the desparity of the the have-nots and the you-know-what. Education is still not for everyone. :( The cynic in me.
