The act only applys to childrens books. Therefore older books for teens and adults should be exempt from the act.

because by then they've got their worldview relatively established. Better to get them YOUNG. I heard a point made, that while made tongue-in-cheek, is still a good one:

"Heather has Two Mommies" was written in 1989

... coincidence?

the PC talk and assault on the family started AFTER '85. This is another liberal attempt to destroy the youth in this country and turn them against their parents

But only the print of the books are banned, not the actual content. A modern reprint of a childrens classic that was written in 1850 would still be avaliable if the PRINT was done after 1985.

Don't forget that there are other media such as e-books or online libraries where books that have an expired copyright can be downloaded.

We seem to be edging towards an era where the bound book is rapidly becoming a museum piece.

ahh ... that is a very good point I hadn't considered
