I would like to gather from the community some examples of works you 
would like to see made free, works that we are not doing a good job of 
generating free replacements for, works that could in theory be 
purchased and freed.

Dream big.  Imagine there existed a budget of $100 million to purchase 
copyrights to be made available under a free license.  What would you 
like to see purchased and released under a free license?

Photos libraries? textbooks? newspaper archives? Be bold, be specific, 
be general, brainstorm, have fun with it.

I was recently asked this question by someone who is potentially in a 
position to make this happen, and he wanted to know what we need, what 
we dream of, that we can't accomplish on our own, or that we would 
expect to take a long time to accomplish on our own.
