Hmm, wish I was a lawyer and not a pre-med student Now, what if a group of friends (or people who happened to meet on the 'downs) decided to do it for their own interest? and not distribute it through a public medium such as the barrow downs. Would that be legal?

Edit: I'm not trying to circumvent (spelling?) the law, but the making of such audio book would be worth it by itself, even if it's never to become the new LoTR craze.
