I usually keep tabs on Paul Cockshott's Reality (http://reality.gn.apc.org/) page, but this recent paper isn't to be found there.

The irony of a text entitled, 'Arguments for Socialism' being protected by copyright.:rolleyes:

Hypocrisy much?

[Paul Cockshott]

it is freely available for download, and the amazon edition is not DRM protected, if you want to produce a print edition on a non profit basis we will give you permission to do so.

Additional to that, the website from which the download is available eprints.gla.ac.uk makes clear that it is released under creative commons.

So why do you need a copyright?

[Paul Cockshott]

It is standard practice with open source software for example, you assert copyright and then give people a license that allows non profit distribution.
