- macintux 6y agoFor anyone like me who was unfamiliar with this restriction: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180306/03423339363/project-gutenberg-blocks-access-germany-to-all-public-domain-books-because-local-copyright-claim-18-them.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180306/03423339363/proje...
- commandlinefan 6y agoThanks for the context - I had assumed that Germany was blocking it because it pertained to the US military.
- folli 6y agoSomehow ironic that Germany restricts access to Project Gutenberg, which is named after a famous german.
- watwut 6y agoIt is other way round. Gutenberg blocks Germany.
- vulcan01 6y agoThis is because Germany wanted Gutenberg to restrict access to most of their collection, which is not in the public domain in Germany. Gutenberg instead decided to block Germany rather than comply with copyright law.
- watwut 6y agoWhere do you see most of their collection? Most of Guttenberg collection does not have copyright claim in Germany.
