Recently the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded the Center for History and New Media and the Internet Archive $1.2 million dollars to develop new services that will aid scholarly sharing, collaboration, citation, and annotation.
In 2008, users will be able to drag and drop items into the "Zotero Commons"—a dedicated part of the Internet Archive's servers—through icon in the left column.
Zotero Commons
Items donated to the Commons will be stored in subdirectories of the Commons named for the donors. In addition to encouraging donations to the commons (since those donating will receive credit for their contributions), this feature will also enable users to identify others who are working with and/or annotating the same content, fostering new collaboration opportunities. The benefits to the scholarly community of the Common are thus threefold:
1) The availability of permanent, persistent archival, off-site storage for long-term management and use of digital content.
2) The ability to share resources publicly for easy access by other scholars.
3) The simplified discovery of new, related resources and potential collaboration opportunities.
As an added incentive to donate to the Commons, the Internet Archive will provide free OCR for your contributions and send you the transcribed text to help you search your personal library.
In addition, modifications will be made to Zotero to make it easier for researchers to select already archived files and web pages from the Internet Archive's existing collections rather than saving local copies. This will enable better referencing of "born digital" items and allow for the collaborative annotation of web documents.
Zotero Commons and Zotero 2.0
Zotero 2.0 will allow you to sync your library's metadata to the Zotero Server.
You will sync your metadata with the Zotero server
With Zotero Commons you will be able to contribute public domain images, texts, audio and other files. You can also contribute files to the Zotero Commons
In turn, the Internet Archive will send you any text extracted from donated documents.

Nothing new there are a number of sites that accept text dumps of copyvios already.

and there are many projects that don't permit copyvios.
Internet Archive's digital repository is at least as clean as Commons/Wikisource, probably more so.
Zotero is backed by a university, develops open source software, and is receiving grants from a notable funding body: I doubt that they have neglected to consider copyright.

Internet Archive probably hosts one of the largest set of copyvios in existence.

See no evidence that this is the case.
