Congratulations to Project Gutenberg—the latest Website of the Week, as chosen by the Voice of America. Text here. MP3 here. Quote from PG founder Michael Hart: “You are absolutely free to make your own edition of Shakespeare or Milton or Sherlock Holmes or H.G. Wells or Edgar Allen Poe, or whatever you like. They’re yours. You own them. So when you download one of our books, unless it says at the top that it’s copyrighted, it’s your book. And if you want to create a new edition of Alice in Wonderland, you’re more than welcome to start with ours.”
