I downloaded the Hebrew course, then thought I'd have a look at the Barrons Hebrew course that I'd bought a few years ago and lo and behold it's exactly the same.
What's the story? Did they just take the public domain FSI course, do it up a bit and charge money for it? Even the print quality looks about the same in the book.
Is this an indication that no-one cares what people do with it.
I've also noticed a few book-shops advertising FSI courses for $200 plus. How can they be doing this when you can download them here for free?

Yes. Even the print quality looks about the same in the book. Is this an indication that no-one cares what people do with it.
By definition, if it in the public domain you can do anything you want with it. I've also noticed a few book-shops advertising FSI courses for

Actually the reproduction quality of the print in the Barron's book (though small) is better than the version I posted to this site. Edited by DemiPuppet - 10 May 2008 at 1:22pm |

I paid approximately $900 for the four volumes of the French FSI course from Audio Forum, before this site existed. gdfellows is really doing the world a wonderful service.
