(e) Kahle v. Ashcroft

Emergence

originally submitted by Jeff Randall:


A sci-fi book written by David R. Palmer which has been out of print for nearly 20 years.

Stifled uses

Jeff Randall:



I wanted to buy copies of the book to give as presents for my friends as it is a very well written and entertaining story. However, this is impossible as the book is out of print and the rights are tightly controlled. It was written in the early 80s so is not due to come out from under copyright protection for quite some time yet.

Society is not well served by this book being so tightly held and the owners of the rights are just sitting on them by refusing to allow reprints of the book.
