I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the information. Of course, on the
other hand, nobody can make you enjoy the information. If you are hung up
about the morality of making information freely available, then don't read
it.

Subject: [lace] Google Books expired copyrights
Can anyone comment on the potential copyright liability of sites like the
University of Arizona's weaving archive (which includes the big lace
archive) in view of Google's recent attempt to settle with publishers for
sole rights to expired copyrights? I know this isn't final yet, but they
are putting tremendous resources behind it and have a good chance of
success. What will happen to sites like this one if this happens? Will
they have to shut down? Are there any lawyers out there who are following
this?
I know I'd like to scan a few old works for my own site, but have no idea
of the potential impact here. Thanks.
Laurie
