It always saddens me whenever I see books being removed from the Librivox catalog because of copyright problems.
Can't we have more loose copyright law?

Hello, I would like to suggest the Sonnets by William Shakespeare, translated in French by Guizot, Francois Pierre Guillaume, 1787-1874. Please bear in mind that I just copied and pasted the French translator's name from Project Gutenberg catalog page since it is difficult for me to write French nam...
