Hi,
An excellent proposal I think. The only part I would quibble with is at
the very end: "... archive, or resell the work." I would change this to
"... archive, or resell that copy of the work." I believe that this would
help defuse the inevitable hue and cry from the publishing industry.
Cheers,
Bruce.
