"I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind,
got my paperAnd I was free." - The Indigo Girls
Bob Lefsetz runs a facinating mailing list on the e-changes going on in the music buisiness (an old stomping ground of mine). Today he ran the following snippet on a related issue that should interest academics and educational technologists: "The most fascinating story of today is in the "New York Times". Wherein professors are revolting against the high prices of textbooks. And releasing their own works online, for free! In one case forgoing a $100,000 advance. The silver lining? Greater distribution. A wider spread of the information. (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/15/technology/15link.html?ref=business)"
