wouldn't that be considered cannibalism?

Some questions:
1) Can I write a program which spiders the encyclopedia to keep it after the hour?
2) Do I get advance warnings for when this is going to happen, or is it just "bam, you have 1 hour starting now!"

Or even printing? Can I print off as much as I can in that hour, or do I only get what I can remember.

i doubt the OS of the encyclopedia would be compatible with our current OSes. so no spiders, unless you find an article on how to write spiders for this OS.

it should be possible to upload the entire thing to the internet right? effectively speeding up technological advances.
