boing boinger's becommonsed book

Cory Doctorow, one of the wacky intellectual property activists and internet afficionados over at the Boing Boing blog, has released his newest novel online under a Creative Commons license. That means:

"You can send it around, paste it into a chat, beam it to a friend's PDA, or print out a chapter to hand out in the university common room. Like Woody Guthrie said, 'Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do.' "

You can download and/or order Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town and any of Cory's other books at Craphound.com.

I would also like to announce the creation, by me, of a new word.

Becommons [v.]: (bee-COM-uns) The act of publishing a work under a Creative Commons license.
"I becommonsed the hell out of my black-and-white photography last night."
