social acceptability: Unacceptable
social acceptability percentage: 100
social acceptability text: People will think that Amazon and Audible have somehow claimed copyright. which they have not. And it is not at all true. Audible players are FREE. If you decide never to use Audible for some grevance. you can always record the book off Audible once and keep that recording. You can even easily script this.
truth: no
truth percentage: 100
truth text: if you narrate a book yourself or hire a narrator and get the raw audio files, you can put the book on audible (DRMed) and ALSO distribute DRM free, or use another DRM distributor/seller. I don't recall an exclusive distribution provision by Audible of the performance content or a grant of copyright to them. Similarly for kindle.
