|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.

|Nothing But the truth text=Audible places no restriction on the copyright owners to distribute any other way they want.

|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.
 +
|Label=Misleading: Audible does not have a monopoly on distributing the author's work if only because the Author can distribute it many other ways without a legal problem with Audible.

|Label percentage=100

|Label text=Cory's excuse:  He wants the list of people Amazon sold the copies to.  I don't authors ever get that with any publisher unless they self publish.  And Amazon is the publisher.
 +
Yes, you can sell elsewhere, but how do you get your listeners non-DRM copies if you leave Audible and want to take them with you? Audible won't tell you who bought your book through its service, much less help you deliver MP3 versions to them so they can resign from Audible without losing your books.
