Places like Librivox for audio under creative commons?

[DanMcAdam]

No, I'm not too worried about my work being sold without my credit. Rather, I found an interesting story on Gutenberg I'd like to record http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/17026/pg17026-images.html but unfortunately it's under a CC license. As I understand that means I can't submit it here. So is there a better place for it? It'd be a shame to record it and not have it be heard.

You could upload the audio directly to archive.org.

And there is podiobooks, now under "scribl", check it out here: http://scribl.com/info/podiobooks-now-scribl

Legamus is the European version of Librivox, and they allow readers to choose which licence to release work under - most people there use a form of CC licence, I think. You'd have to ask the admins there if this work is suitable though.

That's true normally but in this case the author does clearly say - no audio .

Good catch annise! I read up to "and perform" and naturally assumed that included audio performance. How else would one perform a book?

Thanks for the help guys!

Presumably by reading it aloud in front of a live audience without recording it at the same time.
