Scribd link give me " Sorry, this content is geographically restricted

Due to our agreements with our publishing partners, the document you requested is only available to users located in the United States.". I'm in Japan. So yeah - real free. On scribd for 1 month only, only in the US and no download. Yawn. People like Lessig and Doctorow have done this better - and I suspect Lessig's Free Culture is more insightful than this paen to segmented pricing models.

Note - I'm not advocating free downloads so I can freeload - I'm a prolific buyer of both paper and ebooks (not kindle - since it also is US only - sigh )
