A bit of culture!

Did you know you can download the complete works of William Shakespeare from the net, legally, for free?

As part of the task today, Alex was reading some stories to PJ (his master) and the group. The stories were old classics.

This reminded me of something I had read somewhere, that once books reach a certain age or the author has been dead for a certain time, the copyright on the work is lifted.

There is a Web Site which allows you to download the text of copyright-free books, for nothing, and nice people are forever typing in such material for posting.

I had a search for the site. It is called "Project Gutenberg" and the address is http://promo.net/pg/

Something to do once BB3 has finished...

You can freely distribute any works 50 years (I think) after the death of the author.
