Title: You can get the same text & audio online for free -legally.
Review: Great product, BUT...I don't mean to take business away from the publisher, but everything in the book -even the audio that accompanies it- is available for free online. Being created by US government employees during their normal work, the original FSI course is in the public domain (this means you don't need to pay for it). The additional work contained in the present revision, however, is subject to copyright restrictions: You may use and distribute all files of this revised course for personal use. The rights for commercial use of the revised audio files and of the "Notes 2009", however, are reserved. 2009 Martin Sander.For the online course google: FSI language coursesSadly, I found this out after I had purchased the book and CD package here on Amazon. EPIC FAIL.On the other hand: If you want a hard copy of the book because the online version is PDF, then this book may be for you.
