You've probably heard of Cory Doctorow's new novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom; perhaps you had read Jury Service and were intrigued, but not enough to pay the Amazon shipping. (It has been rather thin on the ground in Melbourne bookshops, especially since Slow Glass is no more.) Well, Cory has kindly licenced it under a Creative Commons licence, and made it free to download. No poxy "rights management" either; you have a choice of ASCII, HTML or PDF. (A PalmOS document file would be nice, though; hint, hint...)

I guess he's planning to make it up on the movie rights... Doubt that Touchstone will be bidding for that one.
