I disagree that this is not an issue. Yes, the "read aloud" thing wasn't 
what people thought and isn't the horror first believed. However, NOBODY 
can restrict a public domain work. Period.

I want that point made very, very clear to these corporations. They not 
only want "fair use" to be eradicated but are working on "public domain" 
as well.
