I anticipate the urgent need for US proxies indeed.
But something is really bothering me. Allowing of
getting paid online access to millions of out of print books is
awesome, but it looks a bit like abridged version of paid
libraries. Even in public library we are allowed to
copy the book, at no additional cost, and of course we ain't charged
for the reading. Yet now we shall pay for view, and
won't be allowed to print.

Google surely makes great endeavors to aid the
accessibility of information, yet the right to
read that Stallman had spoken about
is surely getting away from us.

And we ain't paying for the service of accessibility,
as Google claims only 37 percent of revenue.

I don't recommend using 'ain't'. That is only used in colloquial speech in the southern parts of the USA. I don't think they use it in writing (not sure though), but even if they do, it seems incongruous with the intellectual subject matter.

Thanks for corrections, I didn't know that "ain't" was a colloquial speech, I'll avoid it in writing from further on.
