Free as in Books?

donkeyDevil writes "Forget free software, contribute to free books! The Chronicle has an interesting story about bookcrossing.com's effort to track feral books through their captors. Read about it, then do it. (Although the focus of the story is on Bay Arean book releasors, it looks like you'd have a better chance of snagging a free book here.)"

  1. Time to start doing this with CDs by GothChip · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Think about it. Buy a chart CD and then register it on a site and release it. Persuade people to listen to it and then pass it on (Remember kids, copying is bad).

    Everyone can then listen to the latest CDs without having to buy them first.

    Then sit back and wait to see how long it will be before the RIAA makes giving away your personal property illegal.
