Online books are coming free, forgetting the extras
By Dan Sabbagh and Jack Malvern

SHAKESPEARE’S complete works, Dante’s Divine Comedy and other classic works of literature were made available to download and print free of charge yesterday.
A new service from Google, the internet search engine, allows patient readers armed with reams of paper to print out a facsimile of the entire original work, even if it runs to several hundred pages.

I certainly can't imagine any reason to spend a bundle of money on paper and ink, not to mention the time involved to print a book.  Now, if it was a banned book, no longer in print, that might be different, I guess.

I thought that once the copyright was up, anyone could buy a copyright and make revenue from all of the sales of that book.   hmmmm, something to research.  someday.
