  • Teachers, librarians can get free copy of Cory Doctorow’s With a Little Help

    December 7, 2010

    BY BILL FERRIS

    If you ask nicely (and if you’re a teacher or librarian), science-fiction author Cory Doctorow will send you a free copy of With a Little Help, his new collection of short stories.

    If you’re not familiar with his work, Doctorow is an editor of Boing Boing, as well as a thought leader on copyright reform and Creative Commons — for years he’s licensed his books under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike license, meaning you can freely download, remix, share, and adapt his books as much as you want on a noncommercial basis.

    Since so many teachers sweat copyright issues in the classroom, you may want to start with Doctorow’s Content (also available for free via Creative Commons), his in-depth look at his thoughts on copyright in the 21st century.
