Cory Doctorow: Still one step ahead

Cory Doctorow has relicensed his book, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Last year he released it under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs -- license. In so doing, he proved conventional wisdom about "free distribution" wrong -- the book did exceptionally well. Now, without even waiting for the rest of the publishing world to catch up, he's taken the next great leap: the book is now available under one of the least restrictive licenses -- Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike. Already, cool versions are emerging. Here's a Speed Reading tool for both new books by Trevor Smith.

He also has the paper he wrote for O'Reilly's conference. Great read.
