Dead Sociologists Index. Marx & Engels’ Collected Works. . The following is a petition that recently appeared over at www.change.org, imploring the book publisher Lawrence & Wishart [L&W] to withdraw its demand that the Marxist Internet Archive [MIA] take down its transcriptions of Marx & Engels ‘Collected Works [MECW]. Like most of the petitions begun on that website, it will almost surely prove ineffectual. Nevertheless, it’s now reposted here for largely symbolic reasons. I will say in passing, however, that I on’t begrudge L&W the decision to invoke copyright on the MECW, at least not any more than I begrudge any book company to do so.

MECW is L&W’s rightful property — that is, property according to bourgeois right. So they are fully justified — from a legal standpoint, anyway — to insist that it be respected. However, all things told, it’s pretty pointless to try and enforce this and will doubtless inspire a backlash. Petition to allow Marx & Engels’ Collected Works to remain in the public domain .

And/or this Web site; there's also a YouTube video of Bill giving an invited lecture on the topic.
