« the fear about Kerry | Main | Free Culture class »
This has amazed even me. AKMA asked whether a free audio version of Free Culture can be built. Joi seconded the idea, and one day later, ten chapters are claimed. Doug Kaye of ITConversations has already recorded chapter one -- Creators. Noncommercial derivative works, and maybe even a competition in versions (I want to record a chapter!). Very cool.

The Wife and I spent most of the day today teaching ourselves how to read, record, splice, and convert an audio-book. There is more to it than I realized. Reading is one thing, but clear pronunciation and diction another ...... [Read More]

The thought crossed my mind to pass the text into a text-to-speech program and put on my headphones. This is even better!
I was interested in reading a chapter until I saw that they had all already been snapped up... It's great to see people so excited about the book!
I dunno... Why not read a chapter anyway? What'll it cost you? The same it would've if the rest hadn't been read. Perhaps people will find your accent/reading style/recording environment better... Like Lessig said, perhaps even competition between versions.
Next on the list: Redevelop it as a doco (Flash-based, probably). This would obviously be somewhat different from the original...
Aw, I want to read a chapter now. But somehow I don't think a male American professor read in the voice of an Australian chick will necessarily go down well.
Raena Armitage
I don't see why. Even if I am fooled into thinking that the American males' voices are that of Lessig, I'm not sure that it would be a good thing.
Anyway, only the reader has to like it. It's just a bonus if someone enjoys listening.

As the mysterious child’s voice said to St. Augustine, “Tolle, lege; take, and read.” The more participants, the richer the venture for everyone involved.
And not every chapter has been recorded yet. . . .
I'm in. I just have to figure out the technological aspects.
Chapter 13, read by George Sessum is up - here.
Thanks for all you do Mr. Lessig.
