New York Public Library does the public domain right

Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow

The New York Public Library is aggressively digitizing the public domain works in its collections, adding high-quality machine-readable metadata to each of the hundreds of thousands of assets, providing an API, offering residencies to remixers who do interesting things with the collection, and offering all those assets in high-rez with “No permission required. No restrictions on use.”
