I had to LOL. I wonder how long that would take and
who they'd get to do the scanning -- but I suppose if
they paid enough -- I guess that's where the $260M
comes in. Did the rest of the article (I assume it was
longer) discuss the copyright problems or the demise
of the book-publsihing industry?
This again reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode to
which I referred a while back.
