So I'm sure most of you guys probably know about this, but I only discovered it a few weeks ago whilst looking up Cory Doctorow online, and was blown away by the concept of it all, in practice. I mean, I've -thought- about sites like that, but it actually EXISTS!
This is a site, just in case there's some of you guys out there who don't know, like me, where there can be found over 25,000 free e-books. They have (or at least it would seem) just about anything our twisted copyright laws will allow them! It is AWESOME. Also excellent for written projects, if the work being researched is public domain; the only drawback of that is that it's difficult to get page numbers on some of the sites... the one I use, at least.

(also, the fact that they named themselves after Gutenberg makes the historian in me sqee.)
Is AWESOME. -

There are a handful of places that try hard to distrubute all the public domain they can get their hands on. Apparently there's one for sheet music, too, though I can't find it.

I have a vague memory of it being shut down. I don't know, but do search around. I think I was looking through the links of wikipedia's "public domain" entry when I found it.
