A one-billion-eBook-freely-downloadable library

Article of the Daily News and Analysis, Mumbai, Wednesday, April 23, 2008.

Anjali Thomas in conversation with Michael S Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg:

1. What made you start Project Gutenberg in 1971, and what was the initial response?

2. How important is copyright today? Can we foresee a world in which books are available without copyright?

3. Do you think Project Gutenberg will do for the publishing industry what Apple's iTunes and even Napster did for the music industry?

4. Do you get writers approaching Project Gutenberg with their works directly?

5. What does the future hold for Project Gutenberg?

For the answers to the questions, see the article.

Not a billion though a considerable amount of repository of research reports made by MBA students. A mba student cannot afford to miss www.managementparadise.com for the knowledge it offers :)
