Internet Archive liberates books from 1923-1941 under obscure copyright law

Have you ever been frustrated that a book you were hoping would be digitized was just past the 1923 cutoff date, thus in copyright and unable to be digitized? Don’t miss this blog post from Internet Archives (Archive.org) explaining how they are able to now distribute books copyrighted from 1923-1941!  Look for the rather ironically named “Sonny Bono Memorial Collection” on Internet Archive (when Bono was in Congress, he pushed for a law that would extend copyright to “forever less a day.” His efforts moved millions of previously accessible works back into copyright.)
