See
http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/4946163/ If MSN has digitized
Public Domain content in cooperation with the Open Content Alliance
download links to the Internet Archive (IA) were given in MSN Live
Search Books. After the end of Live Search the books are still
downloadable at the IA but there will be no full text search.
There were no download links for the proprietary MSN Public Domain
content especially the Cornell library cooperation. If Cornell (MSN
has digitized 75,000 books from Cornell) doesn't make this books
available (or donate it to the Internet Archive) this content will
disappear next week. It is possible to circumvent the MSN digital
rights management with simple means. I would like to recommend to do
so and to save as many books as possible for the Public Domain.
