Hey Mateys, I have project at my university regarding business proposals, and I have an idea of Free knowledge at your hand that is free books and scientific research papers at no cost. Now, how to tackle the copyright issue and propose my idea?

I kindly request your assistance. New proposals, improvements, and suggestions are welcome.

There's no easy way to make this into an actual business proposal... probably to the point that it isn't possible at all.

The tactic I could think of, if I were to NEED to do this... would be to try to find some way to argue on the grounds of some of the Ethical Altrusim stuff (I'm not a proponent of this stuff but... devil's advocate time).

You'd get a bunch of rich EA's to invest a shit ton of money on the regular, you take this money to pay the licensing fees or fees for use on other copyrighted research and technical manuals and then charge as close to zero as you can get away with for the individual users accessing the licensed/copyrighted work. The argument being, "more people having access to quality research and technical documentation will be a net positive for humanity and the return on investment will be measured in thousands of years in the future."
