Hi,
I'm thinking of all the good SF that was published in the 70's and 80's and is now out of print. Seems that most works either stay in print forever or go through one edition and disappear. It's this second type I'd like to see "de-copyrighted". Putting then on Project Gutenberg would make us all richer and no one poorer (since the odds that they will ever be reprinted are infinitesimally small). But at least this is a step in the right direction.
