Interesting piece of promotion from Suzy here. I'd be interested to know Cory Doctorow's thoughts. Suzy has not gone Creative Commons on the copyright and is forbidding forwarding and copying and is stopping the free distribution on Jan 15th (hilarious less than a week after Apple remove DRM and the file is a standard PDF). But given her wide exposure I suppose that she wouldn't need an IdeaVirus (Seth Godin) type effect to get it into wide distribution. I've downloaded it myself. So maybe I can forward the link to someone else. I would love to know what her publishers think of this - either (a) they can't stand it but Suzy is so powerful that they had to go with it or (b) it was their idea, in which case it is significant news.
