From one of the comments: > Amazon is NOT the place to store information on the world's books! This Brewster Kahle, isn't he still working at Amazon-owned Alexa?

No. Kahle co-founded Alexa in 1996, which was sold to Amazon in 1999. Now, he leads the independent non-profit Internet Archive. - Gordon (who works at the Internet Archive but is speaking only for himself here)

  Amazing - he went from utlra-evil to ultra-saint?

    Alexa's the app that grabbed pages for the Internet Archive. So he was saintly all along.

      I thought it is the Amazon Spyware, sorry for the confusion.

        It's spyware with an altruistic motive. In Founders at Work the guy touched briefly on the ethics behind it and drawing the line.
