What is UP with Project Gutenberg?
I've been following this controversy on the PG volunteers list recently, and I've got to say, if PG doesn't do something I can see it losing all its volunteers, sputtering, and dying. And Michael Hart, who used to sound like the very soul of reason (circa 1994, the first time I tried to volunteer--it's much easier now that Distributed Proofreaders is here) now sounds like a defensive old guy who's getting a little dotty--at least, in his posts to the volunteers. His comments have gotten increasingly strange recently. We'll see what happens.
