Tech pundit Lawrence Lessig not only offers free downloads of his books, he makes sure the downloads are really fast. His new one, Codev2, is stored on an Amazon EC2 server, ensuring that just about any bandwidth requirement can be met.
Codev2 was written in part through a collaborative wiki, available here. The text was licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License, and all royalties are dedicated to Creative Commons.
You can download the book as a PDF here. Of course you can also buy the physical book, which Lessig points out is cheaper than printing it on your laser printer.
Lessig is a law professor at Stanford and founded its Center for Internet and Society. He advocates reduced legal restrictions on copyright and trademark, especially with technology applications.
Now that's *really* plugging your book!
