BrokenSea Audio Productions, a not-for-profit fan broadcaster of audio drama, have received international attention due to an ongoing copyright fracas with intellectual property company Conan Properties International LLC. The contested content are adaptations of Conan stories by author Robert E Howard (1909-1936), and the conflict hinges on the question of whether the stories are now in the public domain, or not?
To explore this issue in depth, peruse the story as reported by Cory Doctorow on BoingBoing.net: Conan copyright trolls censor fan-readings of public domain stories.
Based in Auckland, New Zealand, BrokenSea Audio is directed by Paul Mannering. BrokenSea Audio operate on a volunteer basis, and all work is released free of charge under a Creative Commons License.
