On CNBlog, Andrea, the founder of Living in China, told us the story of how “Free Culture” being translated into Chinese.
“It all started with a spontaneous scribble on a personal blog: Isaac Mao saw the steam gained by a few American bloggers who have took a creative spin and turned Lawrence Lessig’s latest book Free Culture into a downloadable audio format. Inspired by that, he wondered aloud on his blog whether the book could be translated into Chinese.
Within the next 24 hours, the message was spread as a meme both within the Chinese blog community and as email messages in Mao’s circle of friends. Chinese bloggers began to discuss the logistics of translating Free Culture from English into Chinese. ”
