.If you are sober enough to know which country's laws you're subject to (not that sobriety is a guarantee of jurisdiction-awareness) then you probably still don't know whether it's legal to download The Great Gatsby from Project Gutenberg Australia or the University of Adelaide. It's too bad that SOPA didn't pass because then all the US-illegal links to The Great Gatsby would be censored by law, and you would automatically have infringing links removed or not as the case may require.
So this is a little auto-link-legalizer page here for you. Just click on the appropriate link:
You've just been spared jail time and statutory damages up to $150,000 per download of the infringing files from Project Gutenberg Australia or the Univesity of Adelaide. Because The Great Gatsby is not part of the public domain in the US. Consider yourself lucky. And what ever you do, don't click on this link, which probably would be a violation of the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. SO DON"T DO IT!
The Great Gatsby is available in a number of formats for your reading pleasure.
The HTML version from Project Gutenberg Australia is here. The plain text version is here.
The University of Adelaide has an epub version for iBooks, Nook, Kobo, Readmill, and Bluefire as well as a MOBI version for your Kindle or Kindle App.
But you know, CBS won't notice one or two clicks. Even a hundred or so clicks and it's just some drunk displaced ex-pats. But if tens of millions of copyright-confused readers started clicking, the politicians and the plutocrats might notice a little something. The might even think it was a movement. The Aussie Gatsby Click on a Dodgy Link Movement. And all you got to do is click. If you want to end war and stuff, you gotta press that mouse button with feeling.
