June 06, 2003 Book 2 of Kisari Mohan Ganguli's translation of the Mahabharata, The Sabha Parva is available for download from http://www.sripedia.org Note: There have been many hundreds of downloads of the various sripedia etexts thanks to their availability in the public domain. Signing the petition below will help keep many such etexts possible. Lawrence Lessig - Stanford Law Professor - is requesting that people sign a petition to the US Congress reqesting that they place a $1 fee on copyright owners to extend the copyright after 50 years, this would ensure that those who were not alive, who did not want to etc. would have their works enter the public domain automatically, unlike the way in which it is now i.e. they remain copyrighted unless explicitly placed in the public domain. You can find the petition here http://www.petitiononline.com/eldred/petition.html News article here http://news.com.com/2008-1082_3-1013830.html?tag=fd_nc_1 Thanks Srinivasan Sriram
