With all the discussion regarding copyrights and the Internet
Archive Robot, I thought I'd ask the question (in case it hasn't
been asked... perhaps I've missed it): Can this project be
considered something akin to a library? Certainly when you go
to the library, it's full of copyrighted material that you can
peruse and use, and the library does not actively seek out
permission of the copyright holders. They merely purchase the
books. Users of the library are still bound by copyright laws,
however. This does seem somewhat similar...
