I know this idea is going to be attacked since many of the people on this
list are authors. I'm not purposefully trying to make enemies. I know it
seems that way.
Why aren't these books available on programs like napster. There are a ton
af them, kazaa, imesh, bearshare ect.... I'm searched and found nothing. We
could make all the books under a special search like "extrotrans3456".
I mean i haven't bought a CD in like 5 years. Why shouldn't we be able to
download books as well. I know it's illegal, but no one is doing anything
about the free music.
Really though shouldn't these books be available to anyone for free.
For transhumanistic ideas to gain a greater base shouldn't it be free like
the bible.
What it comes down to is where is the money going that is generated by these
books. If most of it is just going into someone's pocket tham I'm sorry that
seems very unextropian to me. I know people have to make a living but beyond
that there main concern should be to make as big an impact as they can.
