Yo, Redondo Beach!

Tomorrow, I’ll be in Lansing, MI, before a multi-day Chicagoland extravaganza. The tour has stops in cities across the US and Canada — see the full schedule for details. Come on out and meet your fellow happy mutants!

Further to yesterday’s post about the availablity of a DRM-free, EULA-free MP3 download for the audiobook of Little Brother, I’m pleased to announce that I’m also selling the audiobook for my new novel Pirate Cinema. As with the Little Brother audio, this is a professionally voiced, unabridged audiobook from Random House Audio. This one is read by the rather fabulous Bruce Mann.

The reason I’m selling this direct from my site is that the largest retail channels for audiobooks — iTunes and Audible — refuse to carry audiobooks without DRM and onerous license-agreements. I don’t want to lock you into anyone’s platform, and I don’t want to take away any of the rights you get under copyright law. So I’ve taken matters into my own hands, offering the book directly, in a fair, straightforward, simple way. I’m immensely grateful to Random House for backing me in my fight against DRM, and for sacrificing the revenue they’d get from iTunes/Audible in order to leave me with my principles intact.

This unabridged reading of Pirate Cinema, read by Bruce Mann, is sold without DRM, or license agreement of any kind, and by buying it here, you more than triple the royalties I receive for it.

The audiobook was produced by Random House Audio. Once you’ve completed your purchase, you’ll get a download link for a collection of 128Khz MP3 files, in a ZIP archive. Simply open the archive and load into your favourite digital music player.

You’re free to do anything with this that copyright allows — play it, sing it, swing it, yodel it, I don’t give a dern (as Woody Guthrie once said!).
