   Better would be to host them in a country with sane rules, not ones that   
   have been screwed up by that little prick Sonny Bono. Don't forget, the   
   public owns the copyright system, and allows use of it to corporations in   
   return for the alleged benefits which are supposed to flow back to the   
   public. Instead the congress whores have sold the public out to line their   
   own pockets. The reason that there are no sane expiry dates on old software   
   and old books is that no one was prepared to bribe congress to get them.
