New book about Aaron Swartz's causes (free today)

Despite what some commenters are incorrectly assuming, this book is DRM-free on the Kindle. It is a checkbox when publishing. The author, Marvin Ammori, is also working on getting the document onto Techdirt or other platforms as well.

Amazon has a very well-watched download list. So it would behoove promotion to focus on this first and increase downloads.

I'm not a big fan of a book about "internet freedom" that's copyright protected and sold on Amazon's DRM-riddled platform.

Edit: This book itself does not contain DRM.

Re Copyright: The book is copyright protected for 14 years, the term of copyright during the Founding generation. It disclaims copyright for the rest of the author's life plus the 70 years after death. Plus all the proceeds, when people pay, for 14 years, goes to organizations fighting for Internet freedom. It's not an expensive book, so people might want to1 donate to those causes directly, and more than $4.99.

Note that after today all the money is donated to Demand Progress (the org that Aaron started) and Fight for the Future.

Is there any way of getting this book without a kindle, so it can be read on Linux?

The author, Marvin Ammori has been an amazing friend to issues that matter in keeping the Internet free and open and transparent. Really lucky to have people like him on "our team."

He also works behind the scenes on a tremendous number of other important issues, and he's well-known as someone who connects entrepreneurs and technologists in the valley to the lobbyists and politicians in Washington DC to make sure the tech voice is heard.

The SOPA work done in DC in 2011 was a great example of an issue where he was connecting people left and right behind the scenes who ultimately made a huge difference in defeating SOPA.

Thanks for this, but as others have said, it'd be great if this wasn't locked down with DRM.

So, Internet is free only for today.
