1. Thanks!

They have a fascinating collection there.

2. Just to clarify-

It's only volumes 1-10 of Marx Engels "Collected Works" in the Lawrence and Wishart 1991 translation. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10244403

It's still unfortunate, but the site isn't losing all of Marx and Engels, most of their work is in the public domain.

3. And that is STILL extremely ironic to me..........

Capitalism taking advantage of the premier anti-capitalists and their works. Anyway, I thought copyrights were only good for 75 years, although I know they can be renewed.

4. The copyright dispute is about this specific translation, not the work itself. nt

5. it bugs me all to fuck too.

But like DemocracyinKind said, they have the copyright on this translation, which they produced. The publishers want to have their own digital edition to sell to universities, which you know, how big of a market is that at this point? Maybe there is, I don't know,

That still doesn't make it accessible to us proles.

6. yes, they'd sell us the shovels we'd bury them with

7. Universities

They may sell some copies for university libraries, but my students get a link to Marxists.org on their syllabus for History of Economic Ideas. Universities love free stuff, but may not be aware that it is available.
