Just realized that

includes a link to an epub version of the book with each paperback order (no DRM!). Amazing, thank you! This brings us one step closer to a Bandcamp for books. Are any other publishers doing that?

Some context to the current situation in Iran. On 19 August 1953 Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was overthrown in a coup led by MI6 and the CIA under the name Operation Boot/Ajax. The aim was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mosaddegh nationalised the country’s oil industry.

Bandcamp has banned Gen AI music and audio from its platform. But Bandcamp hasn’t had as serious a problem with AI as mainstream DSPs, because of the way the service is structured. There’s no incentive to upload a glut of derivative tracks, hoping for a playlist driven windfall.
