That's an awful thing to say, but so specific to representatives of
anglo-saxon culture (sic!).
Why don't you think of it this way: The National and University
Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina had X million books from Bosnian
authors. How many does
serve (without hosting) content that is PD in another
country (presumably the country with the project's language as an
official language) but not in the US.
And if it would be, how could we ensure that the project would indeed
be for free images only?

Or rather drop the JS and just put links to static pages in other
