5. everything at librivox is public domain. you'd do better to ask the folks at google

your question, they're the ones trying to scoop up even copyrighted work.

[druidity33]

2. cool, thanks. nt.

[babylonsister]

4. That should cheer me up.

:hide:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Sorry.... the Telltale Heart and the Pit and the Pendulum scared

the hell out of me as a kid in school. There is a mountain of happy stuff there as well.... see:

[babylonsister]

10. I was just joshing.

:hi:

I always do think of Poe as kind of a downer. And memory lane: we got to see 'Pit And The Pendulum' on a huge screen in the high school auditorium many moons ago. It was scary!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

13. I was just playing along... I know it sounds like I'm trying to spin

it but sometimes when you sort of feel a person is joshing, it's kinda ok imho to go along with it. I didn't know it was made into a movie... but wait, I think I do remember it being in the telly... off to Netflix I go. :)

[babylonsister]

14. Vincent Price if memory serves? nt

[HysteryDiagnosis]

15. YES YES.... and the Premature Burial!! It's all coming back to

me, and after 100 YEARS!!.... well, not quite 100 but you know what I mean. Heh! he said in a Matthewesque sqwawk.

[Orrex]

7. very cool!

You should crosspost in Books: Fiction so that the thread doesn't get washed away--this is information worth having!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. I just downloaded Pride and Prejudice in zip format, will install it

on my wife's MP3 player.... but gawd there is a fortune of free audio there.

[BadgerKid]

9. Check out Project Gutenberg

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

[HysteryDiagnosis]

11. Nice... very nice, this is an interesting note from the site:

To determine the ranking we count the times each file gets downloaded. Both HTTP and FTP transfers are counted. Only transfers from ibiblio.org are counted as we have no access to our mirrors log files. Multiple downloads from the same IP address on the same day count as one download. IP addresses that download more than 100 files a day are considered robots and are not considered. Books made out of multiple files like most audio books are counted if any file is downloaded.

Robots.... who knew they were into reading????

[The Straight Story]

12. Also here, along with HP Lovecraft and others:

[Tindalos]

28. Thanks

I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft, in case you didn't guess from my username.

16. I just completed a musical work based on a Poe poem

The Haunted Palace. We will be recording it in June and holding a contest for filmmakers and film students to make a video to the score.

I was familiar with Project Gutenberg, but will definitely add this link to my list of public domain resources. Thanks!!!:hi:

[Dogmudgeon]

17. Fuck "Copyright"

Pay the artiste directly -- buy his/her books, music, paintings, etc.

And starve out the "content providers".

What we have now isn't copyright, it's state-sanctioned larceny.

--d!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

19. You may want to borrow this for your sig line perhaps.... maybe

not...

[smoogatz]

22. And how does that work, exactly?

Every author on the planet sells his/her work through his own website, and you pay us through PayPal or something?

[leeroysphitz]

18. That's great but can you get the Twilight Saga there as well? n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Kicking..and do please cross post in the Books forum.

In these hard times, freebie books are a boon.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

21. I looked, didn't see a books forum.... will try later. n/t

23. Great free e-book reader

Guy has a free e-book he authored too.

25. Librivox is a great site

If you search using archive.org, the Librivox results will come up with a miniplayer ready to go on the webpage itself.

And that way if no one has put the public domain book into audio yet, you'll still get the text results from Project Gutenberg or whatever other project has scanned and OCR'd the text.

Love access!

[Journeyman]

26. Thanks for the links. . .

[Tindalos]

27. These are great

Thanks for the link. I love Poe and will be sure to check out the rest of the collection.
