Yay, the overlords gave us permission to legally enjoy books and sound recordings produced by long-dead people a century ago. I guess. What's this got to do with the anarchist library?

Are there any anarchists on there? I haven't looked yet.

I think the forums can also serve a purpose of information related to anarchist librarians and libraries / a / the / library.

Thanks for the links anon. I remember coming across 'A High Wind in Jamaica' when searching for fictional stories that either depict our genetic nature as noble, savage, or ambiguous. That book depicts most of us as naturally savage, along with other books like 'Lord of the Flies'. The book already is a well-produced, in-print book with an EPUB, but I should look for rare books that are going out of copyright next year that I can OCR and flog to radical publishers to both our mutual benefit, plus the people who like to hold a physical book in their hand. I appreciate all the OCRers at T@L, plus Marco of anarchistlibraries.net for coming up with the book archiving & building software.
