   5 <p>The first book I published,
   6 <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture by Lawrence
   7 Lessig</a>, is still selling a few copies.  Not a lot, but enough to
   8 have contributed slightly over $500 to the <a
   9 href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons Corporation</a>
  10 so far.  All the profit is sent there. Most books are still sold via
  11 Amazon (83 copies), with Ingram second (49) and Lulu (12) and Machette (7) as
  12 minor channels.  Bying directly from Lulu bring the largest cut to
  13 Creative Commons.  The English Edition sold 80 copies so far, the
  14 French 59 copies, and Norwegian only 8 copies.  Nothing impressive,
  15 but nice to see the work we put down is still being appreciated.  The
  16 ebook edition is available for free from
  17 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>

  78 <p>It is fun to see the French edition being more popular than the
  79 English one.</p>
