Taking digital liberties: As the US Supreme Court discusses copyright protection and whether Mickey Mouse should go free, Brewster Kahle, director of the nonprofit Internet Archive, is outside the Court Building printing off books on demand from his Bookmobile.
Kahle wants an enriched public domain in which universal access to human knowledge is a right:
'We want to have a million books for everyone to use. We can't build a library to hold a million books -- the building would be just too big! So we use the Internet. We download a book from the Internet. We print it out, put a binding around it, you get to pick the book you want.' [Salon].
