12027 The reader on Chapter 1, Doug Kaye, is really good: audio quality, voice, and pace. The problem with an audio book for me is that it's harder to re-read and digest a paragraph. But with a good voice reader, it is easier to ponder the challenging text, straight-through.

Then I found out about this project and downloaded it with refrehingly different voices for each chapter. Oh yeah, loved the work too. This is a great example of what a creative commons license can do! cainmark 2004-05-28 10:24:59 2004-05-28 10:24:59 5 14257 My brother-in-law recommended the Free Culture website and that's where I found the pdf version of the book. I downloaded it and printed it and read it and it's phenominal. The creative commons license is just the beginning. This book opened my eyes to the history of piracy and what it turned into. From Disney, to RCA, I really had no idea. I cannot comment on the recordings because I haven't heard them, however, any way that you can read/hear this book, do it. You won't regret it. Eye opening, everyone should read. suspect 2004-06-03 19:23:24 2004-06-03 19:23:24 5 18191 I feel like the guy who goes up against Paul Bunyan, with the chain saw. I loved the Lawrence Lessig book so much, I synthesized it: http://www.free-culture.org/remixes/synth/free_culture.m3u Yeah, the human voice is always better, but just think of the possibilities, once we get synthesized books that are really listenable.

Even if you're new to the subject, this is the book to get you started, especially if you have long car rides and a CD player/iPod ;) Wonderful Andrew Stuckey 2004-11-09 22:02:54 2004-11-09 22:02:54 5 5 4.80
