An experiment in giving away free electronic versions of published books by popular authors.

See the introduction at [http://www.baen.com/press.htm#Library], or the library itself at [http://www.webscription.net/free/].

The introduction may be more interesting than the books to Meatball readers.  Its major ideas are that people will usually be honest, and that word-of-mouth popularity may lead to many sales.  Parts of the essay are very similar to the HardSecurity/SoftSecurity discussion.  Many of the conclusions were surprising given the essay is from a publisher and some of its most popular authors.
