Three days ago, inspired by the free-offering of Lawrence Lessig’s new book Free Culture, AKMA had the idea that those willing should record an audio version for distribution on the internet. This concept is allowed by the Creative Commons license that the book is published under as long as it is not used commercially (for your inforamation, Professor Lessig is one of the creators of the Creative Commons organization).
Well, a weekend and about twenty willing people later, almost the entire book has been recorded (that link will take you to the online archive for the audio files). Everyone involved is completely blown away by this response. Needless to say, so is AKMA, who may have been a bit ill-prepared for the…excitement.
This is incredible and I want to be a part of it too! Tonight, I am going to begin recording the Afterword. I’ll post the link when I’m finished.
