[Foundation-l] Old newspapers going to destruction

[Klaus Graf]

I fully disagree with Schlottmann.

1. Nicholas Baker has shown in its book "Double Fold"
http://delicious.com/Klausgraf/doublefold that microfilms are not a
substitution for the original newspapers. And digitization isn't, too.

2. National Libraries might have the duty to digitize newspapers but
if they don't do it or if they cooperate with toll access companies
like the British Library http://newspapers.bl.uk/? The Public Domain
belongs to us all!
