kaip Paulo Coelho piratiškai platino savo knygas :)

straipsnelis New York Times.



Esminė ištrauka gal čia:

Q. You’ve also had success distributing your work free. You’re famous for posting pirated version of your books online, a very unorthodox move for an author.



A. I saw the first pirated edition of one of my books, so I said I’m going to post it online. There was a difficult moment in Russia; they didn’t have much paper. I put this first copy online and I sold, in the first year, 10,000 copies there. And in the second year it jumped to 100,000 copies. So I said, “It is working.” Then I started putting other books online, knowing that if people read a little bit and they like it, they are going to buy the book. My sales were growing and growing, and one day I was at a high-tech conference, and I made it public.

OpenCulture - laisvos knygos, dainos, pamokos, etc

apie OpenCourseWare pirmąkart išgirdau gal prieš 10metų. Šiaip atrodo visko yra gan daug, Guttenberg - knygoms, Jamendo - muzikai, OpenClipArt - paveiksliukams, ir aišku Wikipedia :)
o štai šnd netyčia aptikau gan šaunų rinkinuką labai jau gražiu pavadinimu
openculture.com

Na Lietuvoj tai po truputį irgi reiškiasi, pvz, konkursėlis mokytojams, kviečiantis kurti ir aprašyti naujus mokymosi objektus, užtikrinant laisvus skaitmeninių mokymo priemonių mainus tarp Lietuvos mokytojų. Juridiškai tai nėra taip stipru, kaip CC arba FDL bet visgi kryptis, manau gera :).
