On June 17, 2004, science fiction author and EFF spokesman Cory Doctorow talked to Microsoft Research Group and other interested parties about Digital Rights Management (DRM), copyright, and the technology that cleaves them together and apart. In five parts, Doctorow covers everything from DVD region coding and the player piano to the Apple iTunes Music Store and why Sony didn't create the digital successor to its once-ubiquitous Walkman. Everything you ever wanted to know about DRM, but were afraid to tell Microsoft.

"There's a slightly old-fashioned quality to his speech that compliments Wells' old-fashioned brand of science fiction ... rises above the source material, making these audio editions a great way to experience these two classics." - John Joseph Adams, Locus

As James Patrick Kelly writes in this month's (September 2004 issue) Asimov's Science Fiction, "What makes this the first science fiction time travel story is that the Time Traveler actually builds his machine." Previous fictitious time travelers (like Ebeneezer Scrooge or the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court) didn't have a choice in the matter.

Inaugural Addresses 1861 & 1865

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:17:15 -0500

by Abraham Lincoln
32 minutes, 53 seconds
Unabridged Speech
1861, 1865

1861

President Lincoln's thoughtful and passionate (but ultimately unsuccessful) plea to keep southern states from seceding from the Union and to avoid the coming Civil War, delivered as he entered office during the most divisive time in U.S. history.

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Delivered March 4, 1861, just two weeks after Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as the president of the Confederacy.

1865

"With malice toward none, with charity for all..." The end of the Civil War in sight, Lincoln took the oath of office a second time and gave one of the most America's most famous speeches, and the shortest inaugural address in U.S. history.

This speech is inscribed, along with the The Gettysburg Address, in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In many ways, Lincoln's second inaugural address was a sequel to the address at Gettysburg, honoring the fallen and reflecting on the guilt and loss of a nation.

Delivered March 4, 1865, a month and 10 days before his assassination.

Read by Alex Wilson. Note: the podcasted version only includes the 1965 address; the zip files above contain both speeches.

The Glass Dog

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:17:13 -0500

by L. Frank Baum
15 minutes
Unabridged Fairy Tale
1901

"An accomplished wizard once lived on the top floor of a tenement house and passed his time in thoughtful study and studious thought. What he didn't know about wizardry was hardly worth knowing, for he possessed all the books and recipes of all the wizards who had lived before him; and, moreover, he had invented several wizardments himself. "

This humourous story by the author of the Wizard of Oz series, involves a wizard, a glass-blower and a lady of high-society. It was published in 1901 with eleven other fantastical stories in a volume entitled American Fairy Tales. In his introduction to the second publication of these stories in 1908, Baum wrote:

My friends, the children, will find these stories quite as astonishing as if they had been written hundreds of years ago, for ours is the age of astonishing things. They are not too serious in purpose, but aim to amuse and entertain, yet I trust the more thoughtful of my readers will find a wholesome lesson hidden beneath each extravagant notion and humorous incident.

This is the unabridged short story, read by J. Winter Collins.

And he had not thought his fingers could go lifeless in so short a time. Lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him. When he touched a twig, he had to look and see whether or not he had hold of it."

Read by Damian Hess.

"Art is the science of beauty, and Mathematics the science of truth: there is no national school of either... Nor is there any such thing as a school of art even. There are merely artists, that is all."

Only this, and nothing more..."
