There is an unusual site on the www.

The URL is:

www.scribd.com

You need to join and confirm your e-mail address.Then type Bobby Fischer into the search option and you will find the most extraordinary array of downloadable chess books about Fischer.The collection is enormous. I am ahead of you:I am busy reading Emmanuel Lasker's "Common Sense in Chess".

First time I see this website. Very interesting... I am reading "My 60 Memorable Games" right now, but isn't this against copyright? Although I see their website has been working for quiet some time now. Thanks for the share William.

I can't really comment on US copyright law but the UK position I know a little of.Publishers see the whole area of property rights and the www as developing and as yet undefined.Very few artists will remove their materials from youtube for example because they believe that there is commercial advantage in the developing usage.The scribd site is unusual because many world famous publishers actually use it.Maran,the leading educational graphics publisher,upload their works but modify the downloading mechanism.

       If you really want to understand the dimension of uncertainty then review the whole Manga comic arena.Copyists make complete copies of standard comics and are judged by how close their work is to the original but Japanese intellectual property lawyers are not involved at all.

Have a look at my photo submission about Lessig - the USA's leading expert in this field

Lessig's free book is a fabulous read.

 Ya think he would have been enititled to the protections of the very Gov't he spat on and denounced..??  I would think not....
