The digital shift

The New York Times has a very long article on the "Universal Library." The modern day Alexandria. Constructing the google search of all things printed on paper.

It's extremely long, and I have to admit in my currently exhausted late-night state I haven't read past the first page, but indeed, it looks to be a good read. I will be using it for subway reading-fodder tomorrow morning.

Great article. Finally finished it. His analysis helped me make sense of seemingly senseless copyright laws that always seem to be in the way of innovation in our industry. Remember our idea of putting out a free Kuhaku and a print one? Copyright restrictions killed that idea, but in general, after reading this, I think we're on the right track.
