Rhapsodies

Well one of my favorite audiobook channels on Youtube got the axe. It was a shame as it was all of the early Discworld books read by Nigel Planer that I had been having no luck finding anywhere else so it will be missed.

I always feel just a little conflicted about audio books on Youtube. Technically I should be against them because obviously this is copyrighted material but at the same time I go through  a lot of them and the more sources I can find the better.

Whenever I stumble over something good I will listen to it as quickly as possible because since it is all copyrighted material it is only a matter of time before the owner finds out about it and sits on it HARD. Even though I want to spread the word I don’t want to draw attention to it as you don’t want the wrong (well technically right but you know…) people to find out about it too soon. Therefore it’s best to give your friends broad hints on how to find it but strictly word of mouth and never, NEVER post a link. The best posters know to label their material in a relatively round about way and regrettably a lot of the best channels rock the boat in a way that feels like a balance between cluelessness and sociopathy.

So sooner or later these pages and channels are found out about and cease to exist. They will be missed. Still they were fun while they lasted.
