isn't that the purpose of the library of congress in the US? and wasn't the original intention of the US system of registering copyright, that a copy of the registered work was shared with the library?

the problem today is that there is to much content to collect it all, but i believe something like the MLK speech should have a copy in the library. apparently any US publisher is still required to send two copies of each publication to the library.
